On Saturday morning, James, Jamie, Ally and Cat set off to the Cairngorms for a three or possibly four day camping and hill-walking trip. I have stayed at home because I’m not fit enough to keep up with them - maybe I will be one day! I had a relaxing day with my kitties, in the garden in the beautiful weather. It really is summer now, and the trees are in their full magnificent foliage.
I went round to Grandma’s in the afternoon and took her out in the wheelchair to enjoy the sunshine. Unfortunately I found her on the floor again, she is falling a lot now. I couldn’t get her up by myself, but thank goodness for the Alert team who quickly came round, and luckily she wasn’t hurt. After our walk I brought her to our house where we had a cup of tea and some of James’ excellent madeira cake, and looked at Davie’s graduation photos. Grandma made the difficult decision not to come to Davie’s graduation at the beginning of the week. We would have taken her with us if she was well enough but she is increasingly frail and she realised herself that being out of her house for more than twelve hours would be too much for her. So we have planned a small family party - possibly a barbecue depending on weather - next Thursday, so that she can feel included in the celebrations. And in the mean time she enjoyed looking at the photos on the television screen. She thinks that I suited my brightly coloured dress with my yellow jacket, and told me that I should “wear colours more often!” What a nice thing to say!
