Does your friend know about Southwark Carers - an organisation for those caring for people with disabilities/health needs? Worth a look in terms of advice, support, respite care etc.: www.southwarkcarers.org.uk Also I was looking at advice/supportoptions the other day in another context and found some very interesting options, including home care services and dementia support, on the AgeUK site: https://www.ageuk.org.uk/services/in-your-area/

Therefore, you might recognise him. It needs no comment.

I'm at the Horniman end of Underhill - lots of noisy flights over the top of us, although we get respite somedays when they change their flightpaths.

If you have a garden collect rainwater from the downpipe from the roof or attach guttering and down pipe to greenhouse/shed/summerhouse for water butts. I have two collecting from my summerhouse and they collect water well ... if it rains, of course. There are some very capacious water butts now, some of which are designed to hold a lot, but not take up too much room. Depends on your space and purse.

You could always ask the local police if it has been reported stolen if you're concerned about it ...

Maybe a broker could help iron out the 'flood warning alert' issue? Would need a mighty flood to reach you up on the fourth floor though...
