My muscles are aching this morning – probably as a result of a combination of the Parkinson’s Regeneration Training workshop and being cooped up in the car on Sunday afternoon and Monday evening for the journey to and from Kent. It’s also raining here in Southrepps today, so the combination of aches and pains and the wet weather don’t exactly fire me with enthusiasm when the dog asks to go for a walk. Nonetheless, we go for a walk – albeit a fairly brief one.
My new next door neighbour asks me for some help and advice – he’s renovating the house and wants to remove some wall lights from one of the bedrooms, and an electric heater and cast iron bath from the bathroom. I take my electrical and plumbing tools with me, remove the wall lights and electric heater, help him to drain down his water system and tell him how to remove the bath (with a sledgehammer).
The dog and I have another (fairly brief) walk in the rain, and then I vacuum downstairs. I don’t bother splitting logs today because the weather is fairly mild (if wet) and we are fast running out of firewood – the forecast is for snow at the weekend, so we will be grateful for a fire if the temperature plummets!
