Dear friends,
Sunday is the day I dread and I need your help with jollying things up a bit. (The thread on the "Hills are Alive" makes me giggle a lot, it isn't quite suitable for my Sunday problem).
Sunday is the day that I try and do a traditional British Sunday Lunch for my mother with Alzheimer's, my father who is 90 with cancer and doubly incontinent and my uncle who has Parkinson's. I can do chirpy conversation for quite a while, and they seem to enjoy the food, but then it all goes a bit difficult. I tried Scrabble for a bit, but it doesn't work now because my Mum's vocabulary is so poor and she gets extremely violent if anyone challenges a word she puts down (have invented it).
Any ideas for jollying things along a bit? Any suggestions welcome, however frivilous. They all stay for tea as well, by the way.....
Ta ever so
Fiona
