It’s my wife’s eldest son’s birthday today, so we plan to go to his house in Hevingham after dinner to have birthday cake and give him his presents. This means I have about an hour less than usual in which to research, script, film, edit, upload and publish my weekly vlog.
I take the dog out for her morning walk (it’s frosty outside) and then get some logs in and light the fire (I hate being cold). I lag behind a little on researching and scripting, but filming goes remarkably well (with less than the usual number of retakes). I still haven’t finished editing the video when my wife arrives home, and we leave to go to Hevingham before I’ve uploaded it to my YouTube channel.
It’s 9pm by the time we return from the birthday celebrations, so I quickly upload and publish my vlog, and then post links to it on Facebook and the online Parkinson’s Disease forums, before sitting down in front of the telly with my wife to watch another episode of Unforgotten on Netflix.
