We have a houseful this evening – my wife is cooking a roast dinner for 10 people, who are due to descend upon us around 4.30pm, so today my wife is cooking and cleaning and generally preparing to entertain her sons, their partners, our grandchildren, and her ex-husband and his girlfriend. I do a little vacuuming downstairs, move a few of my bits and pieces out of the way, construct the fire guard, eat chocolate (well, it is Easter Sunday), and try to keep out of the way.
We have a fabulous meal (all of it cooked to perfection by my wife), and are all greatly entertained by our granddaughters, who are becoming a right pair of little monkeys.
My tremor is being a bit of a nuisance (left leg) and my voice sounds very soft and high pitched this evening and I’m having trouble making myself understood. Muscular pain isn’t too bad, and balance and gait are acceptable. By the time everybody leaves us in peace I’m feeling exhausted, and I really haven’t done very much at all!
