Gang of Three

Dad looks more than comfortable in his care home. He has someone else's cardi on, no glasses in evidence, but he has been adopted by two other people - a very chatty lady and another man. They are more animated than some of the others and are becoming an item. We asked if they were being troublesome. "Oh no, it's lovely, but they lead each other on" We went up into the little private sitting room and had tea with him. He asked "Are you hiring this place". We knew what he meant but he couldn't get the right words, so we just said yes. "Doesn't that make it difficult in the kitchen". Bless.

We had a few laughs which was great and he is a good colour and very chirpy. I popped along to his bedroom and there were a few cards for him which is lovely. It all looked nice and clean. There are a lot of staff on duty and no one is left to wander aimlessly. No-one would wish to be in this situation but dad seems really happy which is wonderful for him and us.

M. returned from the States avoiding tornados, he looks knackered but cheerful.

He is to become head of ........automotive which is a worldwide position and could herald another big change in our lives. With dad settled we can concentrate on getting back to our world wherever it is. I so miss my own furniture and books and pictures and I can't live like this for much longer.
