Lewes: Lovely sunny day but autumnal. 17degrees
St. Remy de Provence : 28 degrees
Got up in the night, terrible smell, opened all the windows and doors to let air through. Wet carpet on the landing. Have to replace soon with more vinyl.
Dad came into our room in the night, He had no clothes on so partially hid behind door. He waved to us as we struggled to surface. There was nothing wrong he just wanted to say goodnight, again.
Carer comes late today so I get a bit of a lie in and a peaceful shower. Dad is downstairs in his pyjamas and shirt on top. I go to check his room for washing and find the cause of the night-time smell. Stuck to the floor and dry. Mop the puddles so I can get in and open the windows. We scrape up the mess with a trowel after M suggests a spatula! All clean before carer arrives, lucky her. Change all bedding again and decide to put blocks of wood under bed edges to stop the osmosis action. M says we can’t have castors back on because the beds would move and be dangerous.
Blocks of wood it is then.
Carer arrives and supervises heavy duty shower with her doing proper washing of his bits otherwise he forgets how to wash properly and we end up with dirty towels and a repeat shower with a very disgruntled dad.
Open all windows and doors to get fresh air in. Wipe all surfaces with anti bacterial. Door handles, light switches and wall as well as the obvious places.
Just tea and toast today for dad’s breakfast. Find hidden dirty pants and vest and wet slippers.He obviously tried to clean himself up but then forgot half way through.
Two washloads today including slippers. Went into town to sit in the library.
