It felt like Mum had disappeared a bit more this week.

There’s usually something on the list in Tesco that she can spot – orange juice is always a safe bet to say ‘could you just go and grab two cartons of your orange juice while I find the mushrooms?’ and she usually toddles off with the trolley and comes back with totally the wrong number, but the right cartons.  This week we stood in the aisle next to the orange juice and I asked Mum to grab a carton, but she couldn’t find it.

Her legs got tired too, and I had visions of having to pop her in the trolley to get her back to the car.  Luckily the cashier she likes was there and things perked up a bit at that point.

And when we took Percy out, she perked up a lot, even if she wasn’t making very much sense with me (she makes a lot more sense when she is just chatting to Percy!).  Back at home after a hair wash, drying, and Dad getting confused between putting a watch on and putting the washing on, there was a bit of knitting fixing required and then surprise (again) when I told Mum she’d already made lots of squares.  When I showed them to her, there was even more.  So I think I need to get a wriggle on with sewing it all together – maybe seeing that will help embed it….who knows?
