I have just taken Elizabeth back to Regis. She seems to have had a lovely afternoon and enjoyed the movie. There were a few of our friends also at the movie so we all went for a cuppa afterwards at a café and Elizabeth enjoyed that.
I have noticed that her memory is getting slightly worse, but she is still there in the moment and also a very jolly person.
As I was driving along the waterfront on my way home I stopped to take a photo. I quite liked the layers on the water. The dark area is where the seagrass is growing under the water. We have had quite a few black swans here lately as they graze on the seagrass. None there this evening though.
I am sure she very much appreciates the company. I'll borrow one of these and sail over to see the Teenager, eh? Moor up next to him and tell him I am stalking him!!!
Both my mother and husband had dementia and now my son-in-law. So I know how horrible it is. And runs differently in everyone. So good of you to spend time with her as so many people just turn their backs.
Beautiful capture and well-spotted. Seems that dementia is on the increase all over the world and it is not restricted to old age people. Very sorry for these people and even more for relatives who care and\or visit them, sometimes not even recognised by the patients.
@julzmaioro@casablanca@dide@joansmor@sangwann@sdutoit@fishers@happypat Thanks. Elizabeth does enjoy our outings and I always try to make her laugh. I have noticed that her memory is getting worse lately and when I visited her a few days ago she was very vague. Yesterday though she was quite sharp and laughed a lot which is always good. I keep the conversations simple and she copes quite well.
@olivetreeann Not sure if the temperature of the water changes in the areas of the seagrass but the water temperature generally at the moment is around 20 degrees c (68 f).
I'm pleased you and Elizabeth had a nice day out.
