Hi everyone
I find myself having almost exactly the same conversations with my mam over and over because her short-term memory is so bad.
I end up talking about the weather, her ornaments, and most of all, the old days ... I'm sure this is very familiar to you all. I really don't mind all that much as long as she's enjoying the conversation but sometimes I really struggle to think of things to talk about - I can't ask her questions as such because she struggles to answer them, she can't remember if she's been out that day, for instance.
Any ideas for conversation openers anyone?!
