DJ was looking a bit grumpy. Often happens when he feels neglected – I’d been trying to learn how to blog, and then getting lunch. Oh yes – and no sunshine. Net result, DJ feeling low and neglected.
Well, life is much too short for that, so out with the SAD lamp to offset the weather, and out with the dominoes to stop him moving away from the light ….. and to keep his eyes open. Helps the SAD light take effect.
Do you play dominoes ? DJ does. For hours and hours and hours if he gets half a chance. And, miracle of miracles, concentration is never a problem when he’s playing dominoes.
It looks easy. Easy Peasy. Especially when you’re just playing against Someone With Dementia.
Forget it.
Eight games, and he hammered me every time. Even when he had a handful of doubles. I tell you, the Force is with him. And he knows it. There’s that wee smile creeps across his face. Makes it all worthwhile.
But he still tells the day centre that he can’t play dominoes and doesn’t want to learn……….
