And not to keep muttering to yourself that they really should have been sloes.

Yikes. 17 lbs of damsons would need a lot of gin! 🙀

I think they’d work with cheese. But if you eat jam, that might be easier.

They were good, but you probably don’t need 17 lbs of them. They’re good with cold meat or pork pie.

Beautiful. I’used to make pickled damsons sometimes from the ones in my parents’ hedge.

Thank you. I do at least think she’s getting the treatment she needs (apart from telling them she doesn’t need the pills because there’s nothing wrong with her, and sending the physio away for asking personal questions).

Ugh. The systems are so unfriendly!

Last time I did that, I got "doctor’s busy, try later,” then, “doctor’s left — I’ll ask them to phone you.” Then the doctor phoned my brother instead of me. I finally got to talk to a junior doctor who said my mother’s sudden onset dementia was caused by “cognitive decline.” Very helpful.

I’m putting together snippets of information with odd bits and pieces from previous events. It’s frustrating that there isn’t one person in charge of overseeing her care, and most of the people involved can’t be contacted.

Hello!

Why is it so hard to get information out of the NHS? My mother (who has dementia) is in hospital, and I can’t even get enough information to know the right questions to ask. It’s only because the nurse told me my mother doesn’t want to take her tablets that I even know what they’re giving her.

I’m just presenting the spaniel perspective.

Those treats don’t count.

Lol! I think that’s what he’s saying! With treats.

Attention archivists!(?) My stepfather-in-law has written an awesome handbook on jazz improv. I'm looking for help finding someone to transcribe a short (

Archie doesn’t look convinced.

Also, hot smoked trout would be good.

All seem good! What’s the book?

I only got the green and yellow ones.

Well done!

I just about made it today.

Lovely moodiness!

I think I’ll sleep better tonight — having to make a load of phone calls at bed time didn’t help last night. And she’s settled on a ward, being treated, so it’s all less stressful now.

My mother was taken to hospital last night, so I was tired and distracted. (It seems like something that a dose of antibiotics should sort out, though at 90 nothing’s trivial.)

I couldn’t sort out the last two rows.

What a sweet expression!
