Well, the Universe has obviously decided to have some fun with me, so after Splat the Bat, today we had the Bat in the Sock. These were socks I wore for half an hour yesterday before I found out how hot it was already outside, so took them off and - yes - left on the carpet. Rather than have a totally clean pair on today, I thought I'd use these. However, the 2nd sock had a bat inside it and I nearly put my foot in the sock and on the bat. Normally I don't panic when bats are around (unlike Tamzin), but I will confess that I DID shriek! and flung the sock across the room. The bat then landed on my dressing gown, and in opening the window to shake it out, Shadow hurtled into the room, obviously intending to take advantage and the bat dropped onto the radiator and I only just got it out with my hanky before it became a Bat at Bedtime tonight.
Keith's a bit brighter today, but still not eating much. The D. Nurses came out and showed me how to put the sliding sheets on the bed so I can get him up the bed when I'm here alone. I had put the top sheet up the wrong way when I tried, as the only instructions showed a picture of one sheet going lengthways and the other across it . . .
Tam and Rosie here, so I will away. The photo was taken in the beautiful walled garden and orchards at Berrington Hall.
