Another good night of sleep and I’m awake at 6.30am. I decide to have a lie-in, and finally drag myself out of bed a few minutes before 8am.
My wife and I have a fairly lazy morning – she is meant to be measuring up for some curtains for one of our neighbours at 11.30am, so there’s little point in getting stuck in to tiling the bathroom until after she has done that. As it happens, our neighbour forgot that she had made an appointment and wasn’t there when we called round, so it was a wasted morning – never mind, we both enjoyed our time off!
My wife took the dog for a walk while I mixed up the first load of adhesive and stuck the first lot of tiles to the wall. Then she took over adhesive mixing duties while I concentrated on tiling. We managed to get a fair few tiles glued on, and we are starting to get a feel for the finished room – it gives us both a sense of achievement.
My tremor is much more under control today, so no adjustment required. My voice is much stronger also, and my balance and walking are improved. The only fly in the ointment today is muscular weakness in my upper arms, which is quite painful when I’m overreaching whilst putting the tiles on the wall.
We are going to have dinner with my wife’s youngest son and his fiancee this evening, so we finish work at a reasonable time, clear the decks and then drive over to Hevingham.
