We woke to another whiteout! We have an icicyle over a metre long. Had a phone call from the respite home to tell me that Dad had a bruised eye with a small cut. They had called the District Nurse out to him but she said it was fine and not to worry.

I also had an email from social services man who has extended the respite, again, until the end of February.

I asked about the weather conditions up in Crowborough. Pretty bad. I won't attempt to visit until the next delivery of meds is required.

I had an email from one of dad's regular carers asking how he was. She has given this occupation up now but she still takes an interest in him.
