I have a busy day ahead of me. I am meeting with a production company film crew at Norman Lamb’s constituency office in North Walsham this lunchtime, where I am going to be filmed interviewing Norman for the documentary “The God Plant“.
Before I do that, though, I do have some other things to do! I consume tea and Nutriblast, walk the dog, change into clean jeans and shirt, have a shave and then listen to PopMaster. I’m a bit concerned about my voice this morning, so I change my neurostimulator to group “A” settings (which give me a stronger voice, but make me feel a bit “on edge”). I tolerate the settings for about half an hour, and then change back to group “B” settings.
I drive to North Walsham, and meet the film crew for a quick cup of coffee before we carry all the cameras, stands, lighting, etc. into Norman’s office to get it set up before he arrives.
Norman arrives a little late, and we get stuck in straight away. My policy of providing him with the questions in advance pays dividends, and his answers to them are well structured and considered. My voice held up quite well, and I only had two retakes due to it strangling my sentences. We take just under our allotted 30 minutes, pack the gear into the film crew’s car, and adjourn to the local cafe for another cup of coffee.
By the time I get back to Southrepps the dog wants her afternoon walk, so I take her. I then upload my weekly vlog to my YouTube channel, publish it and post links to it on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
My wife arrives home from work soon after, and whisks me off to North Walsham (again) to do some grocery shopping in Lidl.
