We are loving having Isita back at home. She is a bit under par first thing in the morning, but otherwise on great form, and eating pretty well. We had a chatty lunch with my mother and then she had chocolate cake this evening – a belated birthday celebration for Marta. 

We have had to sort a lot out: medication, appointments with the community nurse and so on. I even managed to get on my bike and go to the office. By the time I came back our wonderful friend Christina had completed a true Mary Poppins style tidy-up of the children’s rooms.
