So not too bad then re your mum Dove? Losing dentures seems part and parcel of care home behaviour ......it happened regularly with my mum. However, often it was the staff at fault. Too easy to blame the residents. mum "lost" her dentures, her spectacles, her hearing aid....all of which would affect her well being.
No, she was much happier today than on my last visit.
We can't blame the staff for the missing dentures - they've institued quite a good bedtime routine and remove the teeth and put them out of Ma's reach when she goes to bed - they seem to go missing when she's in her room on her own 'cos she's asked to go for a rest ........ not a lot they can do about that.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Both of my parents 'died from home' after a brief spell in hospital in my thirties. I was spared having to locate them a place in a maximum security twilight home. As the only surviving child I just get on with it really.
I'm lucky enough to live near to most of Dad's family and have cousins within a few miles. Our Ohgoddaughter is nearby too.
The play in Monpazier was very good. It was a joint English/French production about soldiers in the 1st Word War in a military hospital in France who were nearly recovered from their wounds and decided to put on Henry V to give them something to do. Henry V alone wouldn't have been tactful as we won the battle of Agincourt! The end was moving as the English soldier who acted Henry fell in love with the French nurse who acted Catherine the French king's daughter who Henry married. The last scene showed him saying goodbye to her as his wound was better and he had to go off again to fight in the war.
We weren't allowed to take photos during the performance, so this is the chap introducing it and when they took their final bows it was dark, 11.30pm.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I've read back and there has been quite a bit happening here. Hugs to Dove, DD, Hosta and anyone in need. Glad Punkdoc enjoyed Great Dixter and that YvieStevie had good hols. Hope Reggie is OK.
We stayed in a very pretty B&B run by a lovely French lady, but she'd put a horrid crackly waterproof mattress cover on and the mattress was hard. It was 30° quite late in the evening and I got rather sticky in bed so didn't have a very good night. Shame it was so far from DD's B&B!

There has been lots to read this morning from all of you. (6.45am) here. Almost light. Not enough to see hills clearly, but I'm pretty sure that there is not snow over there. The hills are East and with morning light behind them, they are still hard to see clearly.
Talk about lovely food, but mostly they are no no's for me after a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Very annoying having to limit the things I love to eat. Hubby got inspired after watching a video of Lydia (an American Italian whose double surname I can never remember) cooking lamb in a slow oven. So, when we were in town yesterday, he got the butcher to cut him thick shoulder chops and then tried out her idea. Was a very filling dinner last night.
We're fed up with the evening news and tend to look for something else to fill the gap. Our stupid PM is trying to stop his team from allowing same sex marriage In Australia. I can not understand his problem! Anyway, we've discovered a show every afternoon called 'American Ninja Warrior' and we are really enjoying the distraction from the usual rubbish at news time.

It seems to be a day for confessing ages or feeling ancient. I'm 45 and still have a sore neck after a random muscle spasm nearly a week ago...
evening all.
Just in from watering the tunnels. Hot tunnel topped out at 37C today.
Our divine tree surgeon is coming tomorrow so I hope the forecast rain isn't too bad.
OH picked a huge washing up bowl full of tomatoes.
Rain forecast tomorrow, so soup making might be on the cards.

Sorry if that is a bit of a ramble.
Fluffy madam is fine, no more vomiting since the diet change so, so far, so good.
I'll repeat her bloods in a couple of week and see if her pancreas is behaving!
