OK I shouldn't laugh because in his head it's serious and real but I have to smile to myself when my partner sits down, sighs, hangs his head miserably and makes a comment such as 'I've got no-one to look after me' or 'I'm going to die soon'. There must be some good fairy then that comes along and does all the cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, shopping, paying the bills, taking him on trips, etc, etc..... And apart from the Alzheimer's he's in extremely good health so I don't think there's a chance of him dying soon!
