Sophie Watch: She's a Firestarter - Twisted Firestarter

Well, she looks fairly normal, doesn't she? But I'm starting to become concerned about her mental health. It all started when she forgot what year it was. I told her this shouldn't necessarily worry her, as everyone is crap with dates from time to time. Then she pointed out that the "What year is it?" question was one posed to Nan by the psychiastrist who was trying to work out whether or not she had dementia. So, warning bells have started to ring.

They rang even louder last week when she inadvertently got into the shower wearing her socks.

And now they are ringing even louder still after she inadvertently set fire to her bedroom. She thought she was being helpful plugging Mum's computer back in after she had been using the power point for her stereo. Only she didn't plug the computer back in: she plugged in a wood-burning iron that she had been using for decorating Christmas presents (don't ask: we have a non-commercial Christmas present policy in my family and it tends to get messy). The carpet is now in rather a sorry state. And Sophie is officially losing her marbles - I may have to make her some new ones for Christmas.
