My sister sent me this photo of 'The Little Mermaid' who sits in by the waterside in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was the first stop on her Baltic cruise last month. The little statue is a symbol of the city and according to Wikipedia has been a recent target of vandalism unfortunately.
Welcome to August by the way!
My uncle's partner called me yesterday to say he had been moved to the Reminiscence floor in his senior home, where they have more care and supervision. His dementia has progressed since I saw him last December.

Beautiful photo of Copenhagen. Glad they are taking good care of your uncle at the care home. Have a great August, hugs, Valerie
That's a great symbol, not good about the vandalism. Sorry to hear about your uncle, hopefully the better care will go a long way. Greetings and best wishes!
So sorry about your uncle. I hope he is being well cared for.
That is awful about the vandalism!
You can't leave anything to the general public to be left alone, I've heard of the statue and the rather grim nature of the original story
Too bad, that our world is also home to meaningless vandals... I hope he's gets good care... Dementia can be tough to deal with...
Blessings.
I have never been to Denmark, but David saw the Little Mermaid when he was on a high school band trip in 1967.
Sorry to hear about your uncle. The Little Mermaid is famous!
What a lovely mermaid! I am sorry to hear about your uncle.
Many of the homes now have facilities for each step in the progress of Dementia. Sorry to hear your Uncle had to be moved, but glad they can accommodate him. The little Mermaid is very nice.
So nice to see the photograph of the Copenhagen mermaid, such a shame about the vandalism.
Pleased to read that they are taking good care of your uncle at his care home, so important and reassuring to the family.
All the best Jan
