Grandma R.I.P

Monday to the hospital for meeting with the consultant who is so nice and explains everything. Decision made to move Grandma to a care home and Dennis confirmed he had told her. None of us think she would want to go. The astonishing and shocking news that Chris Greenhalgh had died of a massive heart attack. He joins Rev John Hill and Fr Mark Hartley in the heavenly choir. Tuesday on to 8 and Liz had a contretemps with the discharge sister. Dennis complained about her to her manager. Wednesday cut up carpet and to St Michael's for Richard Pilliner's recital of Jongen, Liszt and Vierne - a couple of mechanical problems. Lit 4 candles. To Newtons to test drive the Honda Jazz which Liz liked on Tuesday. Long wait for the rep but car is excellent. Liz went to chorus and I went to Southfields library through the Wimbledon crowds for the retirement of Neville and Margaret. Neville produced a Stanford Irish song to sing together and I brought some economy carols in view of all the cuts but we never sang them in public! Lots of nice eats and Meryl on good form. Keith and Ann were there but not a big turnout.
On way home Liz rang with the bad news. Grandma was so strong to the end but it was so sad to see her failing powers and trying to speak to us and even in the last week that was going. Today I came home for lunch and Louise, Ciarán and Bruce were here. Dennis and Liz went to the hospital. I went to chorus and Stefan took us through Vivaldi and Delius. I did not remember it was at Hinde St. Came home to wacth last of Gareth Malone at Glyndebourne - he should be cloned and sent to every school in the land!
