IIRC Pyramids was the first book I ever bought for myself with my own money and I have loved and read his stuff ever since.  He will be sorely missed.

The BBC will probably repeat his documentary about his Alzheimers. He was very forthright about it and did a lot of good in highlighting it as a growing social issue.

Well worth a watch.

So, so sad.
The Alzheimer's Society of Nova Scotia is one of my charities of choice. Dementia hits close to home for me.

I had my dementia training a couple of weeks back and so I'm looking out for it with some of my residents and it's pretty much their number one fear.

  after 15years looking after people with dementia and of course a high level of training you  pick up on it quick,its a very sad illness, my nan had it for 20 years, it was horrible seeing such a proud lady become what she did
