I spoke with Mom. She has Dad in the home that several of her friends went to, though I don't know how long she'll be able to afford it. They do have him under observation, so he won't wander off. But it sounds like they don't do anything else with him. He just sits there. As does everyone else. Not a good scene, if you ask me. But she might be able to get some rest while he's there.

I think one of the problems inherent in a series like this is that there's little tension between Poldark and Demelza. They're too much at peace and in love with each other.

That is scary DR George. Vibes they do not get Alzheimer's or severe dementia.
I don’t know who I am saying hello to, since I am the only one here.
I had my eye appointment today.
