Thank you
Dhiren has always been affected by the moon. I even logged it in our younger days, as his behaviour changed regularly and whenever I checked it was always either a new or a full moon. So yes, perhaps he is even more vulnerable now.
Anyway he slept the clock round and woke feeling fine.
This afternoon we went to the bandstand. It was an excellent concert brass band with a fine repertoire and had a very appreciative audience.
Afterwards we waited for the bus home.
A woman at the bus stop with us was noticeable agitated. Her husband had dementia. He`d left her at the bandstand to go to his social club for a drink. The next thing she knew he was phoning her on her mobile to tell her he`d put two trays of fat in the oven , one for the Yorkshire pudding, but he didn`t know what the other was for.
And she was cross with him. She`d given him strict instructions not to touch anything but he hadn`t listened to her. She had experienced this before when he left the gas on, and he has no sense of smell, having had surgery. She was so worried and upset, having visions of the house being on fire from the burning fat by the time she got home.
And on and on she went becoming more and more distressed. I was limited in what I was able to say, but Dhiren was very understanding, telling her not to worry, her husband was only trying to help and he hoped everything would be all right when she got home.
So no paranoia this afternoon.
