I have a few admin tasks to complete, but I’m a little under-motivated at the moment. I started writing an email to Norman Lamb (my Member of Parliament) last week, in advance of my meeting with him this Friday, and I really need to finish it and get it sent to him today. Before I can get stuck back into that, I have a dog that needs walking, a host of messages and comments on social media that I need to respond to, and an application form for renewal of my “blue badge” that needs to be completed, scanned into my MacBook and emailed to Norfolk County Council. I prioritise, take the dog for a walk and quickly respond to my social media messages and comments. I compose a fairly detailed and lengthy email to Norman Lamb, setting out my reasons for consulting him (I want his advice on two matters concerning the local health trust – their refusal to prescribe exenatide for me, and their likely refusal to prescribe medicinal cannabis for me). I strongly suspect that I won’t get anywhere with either of these problems, but if you don’t ask, you don’t get!
I finish typing the email just as dusk is falling, and send it before I take the dog for her afternoon stroll. On return, I split a few logs and fill the log basket for tonight’s fire, and have a bit of a tidy-up in the kitchen.
My wife arrives home from work, and we go to Woodland Holiday Park for a swim and sauna – neither of us feels much like it, though, and we cut our visit short after half an hour or so, head off home and get an early night.
