Grim

Today we got the steady rain that we need, but it was warm, so not unpleasant as I walked Django first thing. I went into Edinburgh to have lunch with two friends from my Oxford days who were up for a few days of the Festival. I've not seen them for ten years, so it was interesting to fill in details on their activities over the years that I've only had in summary form in Christmas messages. 

After that I went to see Mum, who was really unwell, so I began a sequence of calls to her surgery, NHS 111 and the Social Services to get a care assessment. 

By the end of the evening, she was a lot better, with more medication to take from NHS 111.
