Agnes looks forward to being interviewed about the history of dementia advocacy in Scotland
Good morning everybody, it’s Agnes from Scotland chatting to you. So what am I chatting about? Oh what I did the-week, I’ve been having – I’m going to say, I feel great this week, advocating and campaigning because that’s what I do and you know what it’s like, its like buses: sometimes you get one thing to do and other weeks it’s every day. So anyway, that’s that.
What was I wanting to say? Yeah, up early this morning – well, I’m up early every morning because I don’t sleep as well as I used to – and I’m trying to get organised. There’s somebody coming to the house who’s going to be interviewing me. She’s interviewing James on the Thursday and me the Friday and I’m drowning in paperwork! What’s she interviewing about? She’s looking at the campaigning movement in Scotland so I’ve been doing a bit of reflection myself, looking at what was, celebrating what was done, and where we are now, and what next, and where am I going. So it’s been very therapeutic, very cleansing.
What did I want to say? Oh yeah, I’m a bit frightened about Friday because, am I ready? No! Because, so much paperwork. I’m a bit frightened about my lack of memory and lack of recall of what I’ve done. But thankfully, its Philly – Philly Hare – who’s coming to the house and I’ve great, great respect for Philly, I feel safe when I’m around her and I know that she will understand and guide me, so that I’ll feel that I gave of my best. That’s all I wanted to say. I’m off to Sterling again today. I’m going to meet people with dementia and find out what’s happening in Sterling and, so yeah, it will be a good day. I’ll be tired but, hey-ho, I’m tired anyway so it’ll be a good kind of tiredness. Thanks for listening to me and take care everybody. Bye for now!
