https://youtu.be/WBNkECuwa6A 2. Today has been better, probably because I spent time with both my daughters. Not together, alas, but still. ED and I did our usual walk along the prom, with the intention of sitting down somewhere for a story, but out of nowhere there was a brief hailstorm - not enough to make us too wet - I was able to brush all the hailstones off ED - but it made all the fucking benches wet. We went in a cafe but it was far too noisy and indeed too hot for her, all bundled up as she was against the cold. She kept making little noises today that sounded as if she was in pain, but her face was smiley, no down-turned mouth or furrowed brow and I didn't know what to think. Progress was very slow as I kept stopping and coming round the chair to look at her face and then she looked so lovely I had to keep kissing her, my darling girl. She's 39 and has barely a wrinkle, just looks like a little scrummy poppet, with a hint of mischief about her expression so that I have to kiss her. No one at the care home knew what to make of the noises either - maybe she just rediscovered how to make sounds, they were tiny, little, grunty squeaks, I kept flipping in and out of panic about them, but her face told me it was OK, no need for a doctor. 3. I let Shirley off the lead in the care home and she scarpered straight to ED's room - she knows her way now. We were faffing about for a while getting ED dressed, so she wandered off and I found her in M's room where she was being made very welcome. She did the same later, I found her curled up on M's lap. His key worker was thrilled - said M really loves dogs and the change in his expression as she settled down on him was brilliant. I'm so pleased she's welcome there - they all love her, residents and staff alike, and she loves them. She's not remotely phased by the chairs or by the wild yells and cries that sometimes make me feel fucking jittery. 4. I don't think I have any more today. Ummm. Here's today's sundown pic: 5. Nah, that's me done.
