31st December. Care Home Cold War.

Mother wasn't sure if it was New Years Eve or New Years Day when I talked her into coming out in my brothers car.

It was a relief to get her away from trading insults across the residents lounge with 'That Welsh Bitch'.

The Welsh woman refered to has very acute hearing unlike Mother whose hearing aid is away getting serviced presently.

This means that any comments or asides from Mother are broadcast not only to 'That One Over There' but indeed the whole room.

"She's getting herself disliked." says my brother.
