2017-10-01 – Feeling the effects.

Predictably, I am feeling the effects of my exertions yesterday.  I ache all over, and I’m pretty low on energy.

My wife takes the dog for her morning walk while I sit on the sofa drinking my tea.

I inspect the stained front wall of our cottage (limescale caused by an overflow, that I spent several hours trying to remove yesterday).  It’s better than it was, but I think chemical warfare is probably justified as the next step.  I try spraying a couple of the bricks with Viakal (a household limescale remover) and leave it to soak for an hour or so while we go to Lidl in North Walsham to do as little grocery shopping and to buy a bottle of wine for our neighbour as a little thank you for loaning us his heavy duty pressure washer yesterday.

When were get back home it is quite obvious which bricks I sprayed with the Viakal, so I intend to try cleaning the rest of the stained brickwork with it later in the week (weather and energy levels permitting).

My wife goes to the allotment to do some weeding and planting, and I take the dog for her afternoon walk.   My walking is definitely a little stilted but my balance is better than it was yesterday evening.  My voice is fairly weak and slightly slurred – I am making a conscious effort to project it so that I can be heard.  Left leg tremor is an almost constant companion, but a little cannabis should sort that out.
