My mother-in-law moved to a residential care home just after Christmas, for a six week trial period. Her health has deteriorated over the last year, as she has been suffering from Alzheimer’s and Senile Dementia (mild, but noticeable - very poor short term memory, not taking care of herself, not eating properly, missing medication).

Happy to say she wants to stay there long-term - she has lots of company, the staff are very friendly, foods good, and this should give her a good few years more in better health (she’s 91 years old).

Update on this - we put her house on the market (3 bed detached bungalow), and the details were published yesterday morning on the internet; we had two viewings yesterday, and got an offer this morning (full asking price, no chain - the buyer has sold her house already to a new buyer).

That's quite a good start.

Heading to Rome next week for a much needed dose of culture, wine and pizza :)

Also fitting in a day trip to Pompeii, which is somewhere I've always wanted to go.

Nice Mr K as while you are over there try the Italian ice cream Gelato as well as my parents rave about it.

It's on my list Den :)

It'll be 5-6 hours of travel but what a memorable place it is.

What I do remember the most was the food (& coffee). Unbelievable. And the scenery ain't bad either (Rome, Amalfi, Pompeii, Positiano, and Sorrento). Enjoy your time there.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Enjoy!

Nah, its 70 minute 150 mile train ride south to Naples, the Italians already have 'HS2'. Then a 30 min slower train to out to Pompeii. At least that's the theory....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Even better, I went by road, felt like it took forever. Still, had some good stop offs though, all part of the experience.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What a relief that she likes it, Good Luck to her :)

Just paid the gas bill for the winter quarter: Only £92 odd. Thanks to the mild weather. :)

My Niece has passed her theory driving test, and booked her test, but not telling us the date.

I have sat with her as she drove, and she drove like she had already passed her test.
