2016-08-12 – A much better day!

I’m awake and out of bed before 8am.  The sun is shining and the river looks beautiful.  I feel that I have more energy this morning and plan to do some much needed work on the boat today – the wooden roof rails and the wood surrounds on the front windows are desperately in need of some attention.  It doesn’t seem 5 minutes since we last sanded them down and coated them liberally in Sadolin, but we just worked out that was at least 3 years ago.  So, my wife and I turn the boat upside down looking for the sandpaper and wire wool (which we do, eventually, find), and then she works on the roof rails while I work on the front screen.  Some time later, when I have prepared the front screen surrounds, I’ve had enough, and I leave my wife to finish off the job by oiling the wood with linseed oil.  The boat looks 100% better, and I’m pleased with myself for doing something constructive.  I’m even more pleased with my wife for finishing the job!

I’ve still got some tremor on my left side, but I think it’s less troublesome than yesterday.  Everything else seems to be about the same, so I might try another 0.05v on the left side a little bit later this evening.

My wife washes the boat down while I relax on the riverbank and watch.  Then we dash off to North Walsham to get something for dinner (the fridge on the boat has given up the ghost, and I haven’t sourced a new (used) one as yet).

I increase the voltage to 1.55v on the left shortly after dinner, leaving the right side at 2.1v.

Today has been a much better day!
