Today is Saturday, so it’s my day for sitting on the sofa and being cleaned around. It’s a beautiful day in Norfolk today, so it’s no chore to get out from under my wife’s feet and take the dog for a walk.
We are going to dinner at my wife’s youngest son and his fiancee’s house this evening, so my wife is making a rhubarb crumble to take with us for pudding. We visit our allotment to check on the broad beans, onions and garlic, and to harvest a few sticks of rhubarb for the crumble.
I spend a little time posting links to my latest vlog on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter while my wife works her culinary magic in the kitchen, and then we load the car up with pudding and dog, and drive over to Hevingham for the evening, stopping off at Tesco in Aylsham for some tinned custard and a few beers (Hobgoblin).
My tremor is calmer today, thank goodness, and dystonia is less troublesome. Balance is okay (ish), but my walking is still a bit rubbish. My voice is weak and disappearing from time to time – perhaps as a consequence of using it so much yesterday whilst filming my vlog. I’m feeling very tired again and have been fighting off sleep all afternoon, so I think another early night is on the cards…
