The Diary of Real Britain
I'm a 57 Year old Disabled man. I have worked for 37.5 continuous years. This Podcast Chronicles the struggles I have while making the journey of life. From putting food on the table to looking after the car and cat. From doing the shopping and going to work. From going to the gym and socialising. And carrying out my political activism. I then keep the Diary of Real Britain to tell people of this journey. To tell them of the Britain I live in.
The Diary of Real Britain
Episode 50 Monday 16th December
Monday. Its nearly Holiday time as tomorrow will be my first 4 days off. I have been asked by medical services to fill in an app as I have asthma. I have a shock. My peak flow reading is usually 550ml. Today it read 400ml. This is Dangerous as it could trigger and asthma attack. SO I know that I have to contact the doctors tomorrow morning. Tuesday. I am in panick mode as I ring the doctors. Lucky for me as I get a 10.30 appointment. I get my check over and the doctor diagnosis COVID. I am allowed to leave as I have had my Covid injections. Wednesday. The only thing that happens is gym in the afternoon. Thursday. Is just resting at home. Friday. Again I take the day as rest. Saturday. No gym today as we have finished sessions until next year and I am still nursing this bad cough. Sunday. Its the usual Sunday shop. But my wife insists that we still have Sunday roast even though we will be having turkey on Christmas Day. So I do the weekly shop, home and then in the evening I help cook Sunday roast.
