Rubbish nights sleep last night. Up and breakfasted and then to Dad's with Keith where we filled six dustbin sacks of old clothes and took to the recycling bank. Both parents had accumulated  a variety of coats etc that neither of them are likely to wear again. Then we went on to visit Dad in hospital. He was more alert than yesterday, so I gave him a shave, but he was quite pale for a lot of the visit and did not manage very much lunch. he still needs the oxygen.  When we left, Keith went on to London and I strolled back along by the river into Reading. I had a little look around the shops, tried on some disastrous looking clothes. Only bought one t shirt in the end, and went to Aldi and stocked up on gnocchi and sun dried tomatoes etc.
