A day of cloud bursts and sunshine. Messages from Clare to say she still felt nauseous but managed to get some sleep. I went to the St Catherine's Eucharist after breakfast and collected this week's veggie bag from Chapter after coffee and chat following the service. I cooked myself lunch, then had a half hour telephone consultation following a request to our GPs for a joint appointment at the memory clinic to seek advice on how best to manage problems of communication arising from Clare's random short term memory lapses. It seems they only do one to one consultations, and it was suggested a recourse to Relate marriage guidance counselling might be the solution, Well maybe, but I felt it was a waste of time.
I got to the Vale hospital at three. Clare's condition had improved a little but was uncomfortable in bed and in a chair, and still very tired. I stayed an hour and left her to rest. I took a different slightly longer route on my way home but more relaxing, driving on the A4232 bypass road down to Leckwith, rather than the A4119 to Llandaff through villages with an assortment of speed limits on different stretches, calling for extra vigilance. The bypass road was much more relaxing to drive, and I was home by five.
After supper, as I was about to go out for some exercise, Ashley called and we chatted while I walked for two hours altogether. It was nice to have his company on the phone. I watched another episode of 'Ridley' when I got in, and then it was bed time again.
