We watched the “Stoned” documentary on Viceland last night. Whilst it took an intentionally humorous and lighthearted look at cannabis culture, I felt that the medicinal effects were obvious, and hopefully will serve to raise awareness in the age group that the program is intended for (and that’s at least 30 years younger than me!). If you want to watch this programme, it is currently available on the Viceland website – scroll down to the “free episodes” section and click on “Stoned”.
I have decided to vlog about the effects of diet on Parkinson’s Disease this week – I started researching and scripting it yesterday, and spent the morning finishing the script off (after drinking tea and Nutriblast, and walking the dog). My voice is badly affected today, so I decide to lower the voltage (left side) on my device to see if that helps me (just while I’m filming). It does seem to help my voice a little, but tremor in my left leg is having a field day. I set up the camera and tripod in the dining room (just for a change), load the script into the teleprompter app on my iPad, have a quick rehearsal and then film myself. I manage to get satisfactory footage with only about 7 takes, so that’s fairly good these days. I switch my device back to its normal voltage – it’s a relief to have the tremor back under control again.
I load the footage onto my MacBook and edit it in double quick time. I have finished the editing and am uploading my vlog to my YouTube channel by the time my wife returns home from work.
We are both feeling extremely tired at the moment, so it’s early baths, a quick episode of Homeland on Netflix followed by an early night.
