Saturday. It's been raining nonstop for over 24 hours now. It doesn't look like it's going to stop for a while. The up side is the car has had a good wash. Got to be something positive! :o}
I'll give the farmers market a miss methinks. Just go for the paper, drop into Lidl for a couple of odds and ends and back to the nest.

Alzheimers - a gradual decline over time, however long time is and in her case, the lasting sort, as it has been over 9 years now at least....there are days when they are 'up' and days when they are 'down' on the progress chart - indeed, they can be up and down inside the day. She's at the stage of losing the ability to use a knife and fork, not every day but increasingly so - she can't write and I won't go into the toilet habits. As to recognising us or, even better, remember names, again up and down. What folk say about this loss of remembering family being upsetting - well, in my view, they haven't done their homework properly as it happens and one should be prepared ahead of the game as its to be expected - part of the undercurrent in the book to be, I hasten to add.
Probably more than the family but then there are times that you know you have something and times you don't....when exactly, hard to say but some remarks do come out... one we had was in Sainsbury's up at their bakery counter, (a love of eclairs on her part). There were two old folk in what I term the F1 carts and comparing shopping notes. The mater turned to me and, out of the blue, said 'I've got what they don't have and they've got what I don't have'. Physically, at the time, she was very fit - not quite as mobile now....but where did that come from?
