I have a dear friend, widowed for many years. I became friends with his children and him over 15 years ago, and over time, he became my lodger for about 5 years. He had a very set routine, getting the bus to town, having tea with his old cronies etc, having lunch in a cafe, etc. A few years ago, I had to move, so he moved back into his old home, which he had sold to his son. But they have fallen out and my friend has now been forced to go to a care home! He has just turned 88 but is very youthful, fully aware of what's going on etc. However, this care home, which is lovely, will not let him do anything for himself. He has been diabetic for 25 years, managing his own insulin and blood tests. Now he can't even do that. And when I visited him yesterday he had a walking stick! He doesn't need a walking stick, but said if he goes down to the common room without it, he get's "told off". And worst of all, they will not let him leave the home, at all, without someone coming for him and being responsible for him. So no more bus trips to town, no more meeting up with old friends, and no more vital exercise! He is not my relative, so I don't feel I have the right to butt in but does anyone have any suggestions? I fear he will start going downhill rapidly from lack of stimulation and exercise. Sorry for the rant, I just got really upset.

Well, well. Is it ‘global warming’ or ‘cloud seeding’?
