Father’s Day. I have a lengthy text from my son (who’s not a great one for sending cards), which says a lot of nice things – he’s a sensitive soul, my son. There’s a card waiting for me downstairs from my daughter. She knows me well, and it’s a funny card, no flowery verses for me! Facebook messages from them both as well.
A brew, a Nutriblast, check my email and then it’s off to the supermarket (again!) for more barbecue supplies. My stepson has invited us to his house in Hevingham for a barbecue later today, along with his dad and girlfriend, my other stepson and fiancee, and our little granddaughter. The weather looked a little threatening earlier, but the sun comes out while we are shopping, so hopefully it’ll be okay later. We got some sweet chilli sausages and cheddar burgers to chuck on the flames, and my wife is now busy making a “death by chocolate” kind of dessert 🙂
I noticed a little dyskinesia in my neck this morning when I switched my device on, but then again I was looking for it! Once I’m up and moving around, it isn’t bothering me unduly so I leave the device settings as they are. Left leg tremor is annoying me again, but I’m not about to increase the voltage again. If it doesn’t subside this afternoon, I’ll self-medicate before we go out.
We go to wish my wife’s father a Happy Father’s Day, and then head over to Hevingham for the barbecue. On the way I decide to self-medicate (cannabis, and no, I wasn’t driving!) and by the time we arrive my tremor has calmed right down. I assist this relaxed state with a couple of beers whilst scoffing sausages, burgers and pork chops – I’m a bit of a carnivore, and a lot of a salad dodger. We have sunshine again today, but without the biting North wind of yesterday, and it’s actually quite pleasant to be sitting in the garden. We return home around 9pm and I have another beer (there’s a pattern emerging here…) and then head for bed.
