In a nutshell

Got a message from Liz telling me she would'nt be able to clean for Mum after this Saturday. She has health issues.
Got soaked walking Indie, dropped her lead when I was wrestling with my jacket, camera/phone bag, so had to retrace my steps to find it.
Had a meeting with Fi who could possibly be going into Mum in the afternoons to prep meals/ company.
My brother phoned me. At last, he can see Mum's dementia, feels awkward having conversations but has promised to visit her more often. Time will tell. I asked him if he could remove the redundant water butt, remains of rotten birdtable, and rusty metal arch that I dismantled backalong. Time will tell.
