We awaken to political turmoil this morning. Theresa May took a gamble on being re-elected with an increased majority, and lost! Even though she says that she is not going to resign, and she plans to form a minority government, I believe (and hope) that it is only a matter of time before we see the end of May.
It’s a beautiful morning here in Southrepps, and it appears that Summer has returned, but by mid-morning the sky is a threatening dark grey, and it isn’t looking much like Summer any more. I dash out with the dog while the going is good. By lunchtime we have a thunderstorm and the heavens have opened – just as well it is Friday, and I have my vlog to keep me busy (and indoors!). I have decided to do an update on my vlog about Mannitol and coconut oil – I have been taking Mannitol (a natural plant sugar used as a food additive) for about 3 months now, and have noticed an improvement in my sense of smell. I only started taking coconut oil about a week ago, but have definitely had a change in mood and motivation that I am hoping is attributable to it.
I still have a fair amount of tremor breaking through on my left side, and had intended making an adjustment to my neurostimulator today if it hadn’t improved. As it is, I’m keeping busy doing my weekly vlog, and it really isn’t causing me too much of a problem, so I’ll save the adjustment for another day. My voice is weaker than it was yesterday, and that is more of an issue when I try to film myself – I keep strangling my sentences, and have to have many retakes! I manage to have it completed, uploaded to my YouTube channel and published before my wife gets home from work, so that’s pretty good going.
