Mum was taking more leading and watching like a toddler too while shopping before lockdown. She mainly used to walk slightly behind me so she could follow me, if she was leading she would often go back on herself when walking round shops forgetting which bits she'd seen and which bits she hadn't and if I said I'll just pop over there for something and left her for a minute she was never in same place when I got back. Same with looking at something, if I took too long she'd be wandering off. I'll still miss it though like you do Sarasa x
We've been adjusting things we watch for a while cos mum struggles a bit to follow some things, its worse if characters look a like as she forgets who is who then and series with twists and turns are a no no too as she can't remember who did what in last episode.
Hubby got mum into Star wars when my sisters kids were young and used to watch it with them, at first mum wasn't interested but one day she was here and they asked for it on. We said maybe another day cos nannans not a fan but mum said it was Ok she'd do her knitting and didn't mind if it was on in background. We put it on and after a while noticed mum had stopped knitting and was watching it. When it finished mum asked if there were any more and we ended up putting another on and then had to promise not to watch the other till she came back the next day and since then she's enjoyed them. Hubby absolutely loves star wars, ever since he saw first one in cinema when he was about 8 he's loved it. He had them all on video and now DVD and watches them over and over. He got me watching them, then our niece and nephews and then my mum. Its been quite a regular thing when my sisters kids have visited over the years for us to watch them, or when mums has stayed over at Christmas if we've not got much to watch on tele we'd often start watching them all again. My favourites are the original 3, the middle of the story.
The big knit is a charity knit for ageuk, people knit little hats for innocent smoothie bottles then donate them and innocent put them on top of their bottles and sell them, for every one sold 25p goes to ageuk. Its been running for quite a few years and I've always thought I might knit some but never have till now. Although I've only done one so far lol.
