Claudia and Jonas here

Off after a bit of editing of my conversation with Robin, to sit with Pat at 11:45. Sylwia was there, and is zooming back to Poland at the weekend. A long, long drive. Lorraine and Maureen off to Eastbourne for a hearing aid appointment. 

Mum said the vets had asked for her to bring Felix in as soon as possible. She is trying to get someone to go with her tomorrow.

I found Pat fairly perky, and I made him some tea and warmed up some beef broth. We watched one of those shows where they buy some tat and try to sell it on at auctions. I'd not seen the show for years, but the guy that presents it no longer wears a wig, making him almost unrecognisable. Soon Claudia and Jonas had arrived too. I made them tea, and after the carers had been, Patrick able to stand now fairly well for short times, and he was doing some exercises of holding up his leg and pointing his toes and so on. At 1:30 I slipped off leaving Claudia and Jonas with Pat for half an hour. I went home and joined some of my poetry friends in on the Understory Conversation, which was enjoyable, especially as I was no longer in a gloomy mood about my own writing.

Claudia and Jonas back from Pat and Maureen's and we had a roast dinner and chatted all evening. They are going tomorrow off to stay with Jason. Lovely to see them again, and I loved talking to them even though they'd not having slept much the night before their journey. They went to bed early, and Lorraine and I watched the last episode of season two of Stranger Things before hitting the hay.
