This is where modern technology really shines. It's wonderful to think you could see your unborn grandson,never mind the fact that he's in another country.Congratulations. |

I find it difficult to watch films now that OH can't follow a plot. It seems selfish to put a film on and let him sit there bored. I have to put on short programmes,preferably documentaries,that he can almost relate to.
Bless him,his eyes are so bad now I have to wear bright colours so he can see me.

Is he aware of his condition? |

Not really,Honeybear. When he gets confused(95% of the time) I laugh and say we must be getting old,we're so forgetful.
Occasionally he has short periods when he is lucid and he thanks me for looking after him so well.

No jimmy,no outside agencies are aware of the problem. It would depress him if strangers came into the house or his routine was changed. I always say that I'll manage as long as I can. While he knows me and knows he is in his own home,I will carry on doing my best. If that changes,maybe everything will have to change then.
I don't think about the future,I have seen what happened to his father and his brother when they had the same thing and went into homes. I won't do that to my beloved husband if I can possibly avoid it.

Yesterday I binge watched Gold Digger. I don't know if anyone is watching it,so I won't talk about the plot(S).
I would just say it's excellent. The acting is really good,well rounded characters and mystery right up to the end.
There are twists and turns as facts emerge slowly all through the story.
The age gap didn't really sit well with me(just too wide),but apart from that personal preference,I can heartily recommend it.

I like Gold Digger, it's a clever theme with all sorts of possibilities Only criticism is staying too long on the daughters complicated love life, doesn't seem to be relevant

I have watched the Irish series called Holding on ITV. It was all available on ITV Hub, so I binge watched it.
It was excellent. Sad, but excellent. It's from the book written by Graeme Norton.
I have read a couple of his books and I have to say I enjoy his writing.
I have read many Irish writers and while some stand out for me (Deirdre Purcell and Maeve Binchy), I haven't read one Irish author I didn't like.

He was on, who do you think you are, and it showed his family came from Leeds.
