Friday 30th October 2009

Dad was behaving oddly last night. Normally, he talks to his imaginary friend who sits on his right hand side. Last night he was having a conversation with the stereo speaker on his left side. He was going to bed he said but what about all the others. How many others are there dad I asked. "Oh, five or six" he waves vaguely round the room. "Well they are going to bed too" says M.
Half an hour later dad comes into our room to say goodnight fully dressed in his outdoor clothes.
I ask him why he has got his coat on and he said. "Well, I might need it". He wanted to know which room he was sleeping in. I replied, "the usual one. You have been using it for 50 years."
OK.
The Matron came this morning and we were all ready, an achievement. She talked to dad and asked quite a lot of questions which we answered for him while he slept. She has agreed to take dad and we said we would take him over for a visit, next week.
