Andrew gets to the end of his tether after unblocking Mum's loo

Available for over a year

This week - with autumn here and fresh restrictions in Leeds where he lives - Andrew's patience wears thin. He's relieved that the rules still allow him to help Mum ('caring for or assisting a vulnerable person'), but isn't looking foward to winter. He arrives to find the downstairs loo blocked and spends an unpleasant hour clearing it, then cleaning up. That's immediately followed by a conversation with Mum's next door neighbour about rats in the back garden, which pushes Andrew to the end of his tether. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
