A Couple Of (Very) Brief Conversations With The Carers.....

Monday, 8 January 2018.

Scene:  Early morning

The carers come in - two  lovely ladies. They open the curtains and greet Mum cheerfully.

Carer Sue:  Good morning, Phyllis!

Mum (awake.....and obviously has been pondering matters of mortality...): We've all got to die sometime

Sue (determinedly positive): I hope it's not today!

Mum was left to mull this over......

Scene:  The carers come in at lunch time, to get Mum up after her morning nap.

Sue takes Mum on the glider to the bathroom, to spend a penny.  After giving Mum some time in privacy, she goes back, and asks:

Have you been to the toilet yet?

Mum: I can't spend a penny yet.  But if you take me into the garden, I can go on the lawn!


The mystery of the brown patches on the grass is now solved!!
