Yes,|I know I said I will not go on Sundays, and I will not from now on. And I know I intended to come straight home after work today and not call in ... BUT ...
So anyway, in I go, expected him to be fast asleep as usual in the afternoon and I walked past him, ready to position myself, as it were, to do my usual big open-armed hello but a hand went out and grabbed me and Keith pulled me down to him to say hello, this is WONDERFUL. Nurses found this very amusing. He was wide awake and the most able to hold a conversation I have known him since he went to his new home. He started to talk about a big cup, and I said what colour was it and he said, you know, green and yellow. He was describing a cup he'd painted at pot painting back in 2000. He didn't remember the one on which he painted a blue octyopus, but hey ... And the staff asked him what colour he liked best and he said green. Keith always said the green in the rainbow was his favourite colour ... Goodness me.
Additionally, I was asked about English pronunciation and slang by several nurses and one has asked me to give her posh English speaking lessons! I only speak posh because I went to elocution to rid myself of a very dockyard accent ... They plied me with lots of cups of tea because they could see I was a bit bushed after work. What a place this is!!
OOo I have rabbited on. Thank you with all heart for being with me. Love hearing from you.
