It's been a bit of another tough day today. After taking mum to the hospital for an appointment where it turned out the bump on her head had caused some "crystals" in her ear to dislodge that helps with balance, we got home and I've spent the last 3 hours looking for her TV remote that she lost 6 days ago in her bedroom.

Suffice to say it's not in her bedroom, so no idea what she has done with it!

'Our Own Coordinates - Poems About Dementia' was launched on Friday with readings from many of the poets involved.

It was an emotional, beautiful, brave and loving thing to witness.

The whole event can be viewed as and when you wish, here:
