We are expecting a visit from my daughter, who is dropping in to see us for a day or two on her way back to York from Dorset (via Stevenage), so I try to get my routine tasks out of the way before she arrives. Tea and Nutriblast drinking, dog walking and PopMaster listening are all accomplished by the time she knocks on the front door at about 10.45am.
At lunch time I take her over to The Vernon Arms for a drink and a bite to eat, and then we both take the dog for her afternoon stroll around the field by the village hall.
I’m still not feeling very energetic or motivated, so I decline when my daughter asks me if I’d like to join her in going for a run around the village – even if I felt motivated to do so, I sincerely doubt my ability to make it as far as the end of the road! I opt to spend a little while using my mini motorised cycle instead – better than not doing anything at all! I also vacuum downstairs while she’s out running.
I’m very conscious of the fact that I have a fair bit of tremor breaking through in my left leg, and my speech is slurred and indistinct when my daughter and I are chatting but she doesn’t mention it, so it can’t be all that bad – just my perception.
My wife arrives home at a reasonable hour (for a change) and we select a movie to watch on Netflix after we have eaten dinner.
