I’m having another day of loafing about. I have decided to do some vlogs in advance of our holiday (so that I can schedule them to be published whilst we are away), so I start researching a subject today. I had a difficult time getting to sleep last night because of restless legs syndrome, so my wife has suggested that I vlog about that this week. I hadn’t realised it could also affect the arms until last night, but it really was most uncomfortable, and something I could definitely do without.
One of my neighbours knocks on the door to ask for my assistance in constructing a scaffold platform, so I go across the road, help him to construct the platform, and have a cuppa and a chat with him and his wife. While I’m up off my backside, I look around for something that I can achieve around the house. I noticed yesterday (when I went into the loft to look for a trailing socket) that the loft hatch is just about to fall off its hinges (the hinge screws have been loose for quite some time), so I get the stepladders out, some new (longer) screws, and my electric screwdriver, and replace the hinge screws.
I receive a phone call from a television production company about a programme they are making for Channel 4 about cannabis, and they would like me to take part because of my use of cannabis to alleviate the symptoms of my Parkinson’s Disease. I’m definitely interested in taking part, but it looks like they want to film while we are out of the country (on holiday) next month, which is a bit of a shame – I like to be involved in anything that raises awareness of PD and/or medicinal cannabis.
