Progress with my Spanish is sluggish.  But I’ll get there.  I had been due to take exams in November, but I am not prepared.  I need another 3-4 months.  Of course, I want to do this before I visit South America and Mexico in the first half of 2024.

Work is ok.  Good progress being made.  Everything feels quite settled in the main.

I’ve not seen Grace yesterday.  I had an appointment that I had to make in the evening, so wanted to see her in the afternoon.  It was also my hope that I would therefore see Grace in the afternoon more often and that is still the plan.  So I had advised the Director of the care home, but OMG, because I wont talk to him I cannot see Grace in the afternoon.  This feels like de ja vu. With an attitude like this, why would any one want to talk to him?    A few months back he did not want to talk to me and told me to speak to the Team Leader.  What changed his attitude?  The Director sounded really angry in his note.    It is also suggested that I have signed up to visiting hours in a letter ……   They are using Grace as weapon against me continuously and that’s so cruel towards her – does it surprise me?   There is no issue between me and Grace.  I don’t want to see Grace on the premises of Laurens, in fact it’s the last place I want to.  I want to take her off site. I can’t say much more at the moment, but hopefully more to follow.
