Thank goodness for Skype

It was after midnight before they identified a bed for dad, 1 before he was admitted to the ward and nearly 2 before I got home.

Spent the morning phoning folk and eating croissants! And I Skype Olivia, who was very chatty, sat surrounded by her t-bears. Fair cheered me up.

Back to RIE where dad was still very confused and out of it, until James arrived and suddenly he started chatting away lucidly about James and Olivia and others.

Took mum home for sherry. I'm away tomorrow. Need to catch up on some rest tonight.
