With regard to the question of food and drink, there has been no chef here for months and the food is poor, the meat is tough, the vegetables are always over cooked and the general standard has gone downhill. Outside there is a lovely garden area but as I am not at all mobile once I have been taken outside, I'm stuck there as there is no way of attracting anyone's attention.
