Another day of rain. Its cold and grey, and raining heavily in Southrepps this morning. I take the dog for a quick walk at around 9am when it stops (briefly).
I have my weekly vlog to do today – I have usually selected a topic by now, and even done some research for the script. I have two topics in mind, and did do a little research (on both topics) yesterday, but I really need to make my mind up and get a move on!
I decide to talk about heavy metals and their role in Parkinson’s disease – this is an easy one for me, so the problem is going to be keeping the video to a watchable length. I like to make my vlogs between 5 and 6 minutes long but I just know they this one is going to overrun. I write the script off the top of my head, partly from the research that I did yesterday, but mainly from my experiences with dental metals. My voice is playing me up a bit, so I change my neurostimulator over to group “B” settings for a little while. I actually try to film myself whilst still using the group “B” settings, but my eyes are clenching themselves shut and I feel distinctly odd, so I change my device back to group “A” settings and start again. I manage to film myself without too much trouble, although I have a fair few retakes. I load the raw footage onto my MacBook and crack on with the editing.
My wife arrives home from work, and I’m still not finished. I manage to complete the editing while she goes out for a run, and then I upload it to my YouTube channel while we eat our dinner and catch an episode of Dexter on Netflix.
