Combination of the heat, the changes for Karola, and perhaps an incipient cold but I had a very restless night. My Oura ring says I got 3½ hours sleep which made me very groggt in the morning.

At 11:00am Marcus took me over to Colwyn House in Duke Street, Mahora and Chrissie joined us there to talk to the manager and discuss options for Karola in the new year. Colwyn House Lifecare is one of only two establishments which support people with psycho-geriatric needs, aka dementia level 5. The staff seem experienced, competent, and friendly. The individual rooms are very small but there’s probably room for an extra chair and some photos on the walls. Since Anna & Bridget visited the place has been repainted internally, banishing the glaring primary colours which were part of what out them off when they visited last February.

In the afternoon I had my regular quarterly diabetes health check at the Hastings Health Centre – no problems there.
