tv / pictures / mirrors
Depending on mood, my husband often gets cross about 'all those people over there', which is usually a signal to turn the tv off.
However, he also finds it difficult to recognise himself on photos and in the mirror, chats to the 'fellow who looks at him in the bathroom', and also to photographs and pictures in the house, whether they are family members or paintings.
He is a great music lover, and for many years, has been trying to display audio tapes, cds and even video tapes and books so that the pictures can be seen (rather than the 'spine'). This causes huge problems, because the whole display collapses regularly, but apart from annoying him (and irritating me, because it looks so terribly untidy), it gives him something to do!
The reason I mention this is, that he has also dispalyed some favourite LPs in the same way, tells visitors that he has had many a conversation with Bing Crosby/Frank Sinatra etc. He also chats to them, smiles at them, and recently, has been asking whether 'they' are likely to 'go out' when we are upstairs in bed, and 'why don't they ever talk to me, or need anything to eat?'
Confusion reigns between reality and imagination, and it is not always easy to make light of it!
