“She has locked herself out AGAIN”. Anne is glad she has Liz to talk to about
Aunt Nettie. Nettie’s short term memory
is getting worse and there are constant problems with lost keys, forgotten pin
numbers, missed appointments and burnt food.
“She left her key behind and then couldn’t remember the code to the
outside key safe. She went to the shop
who tried to phone friend Rosie who has a spare key but she was out. I was in a meeting all afternoon with my
phone off and didn’t pickup the messages until on the train home so I came
straight over to sort things out . Its
now 9pm, I’ve just got home and I’m knackered”.
“Poor old you. How was she?”
asked Liz. “Oh fine. Fortunately she hadn’t left anything cooking which was my
great fear. She said she was glad to see me but I think she had had a great
time. Spent all afternoon in the shop drinking cups of tea and gossiping with
all her chums who came in to shop. When
the shop closed, she was taken to a neighbour who cooked her tea and when I
arrived she was teaching their teenage boy to play gin rummy.” “Wow what a great day – if she has any sense
she will lock herself out again soon” says Liz. “That’s what I am afraid of” replied Anne.
