I’m tired, stiff and aching all over today, but particularly in my left hip and leg. I don’t recall having over-exerted myself over the weekend, so I guess it’s just Parkinson’s Disease letting me know that it’s still there.
I phone my doctor’s surgery to make an appointment to discuss applying for medicinal cannabis on prescription, so that at least I have set the ball rolling.
I take the dog for her morning walk after I finish drinking my tea and Nutriblast, listen to PopMaster and then load the freshly charged boat battery into my car and drive over to Wayford Bridge. I refit the boat battery and start the engine, which now seems to be charging the battery as it should do. It’s a beautiful day to be down by the river, but there’s not enough of a breeze to make the heat of the sun more bearable, so I don’t hang around for very long before making my way back to Southrepps.
This afternoon I combine the dog walk with a visit to our allotment. I really need to mow the grass pathways, but I’m not feeling up to it at the moment. I harvest some spinach, kale, French beans, runner beans and a courgette (zucchini), then wander back home for a sit-down.
