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.

Monday. Again another plain monday morning although I can't contain my joy at the possibility of mt wife being discharged from hospital. I do the usual things including my afternoon gym visit. Then I get home for a short rest and then I head for the hospital to visit my wife. Tuesday. I go to work as usual. During the morning I get a phonecall from my wife that she is being discharged from hospital. I then the ward to confirm this and they do. So I said that I would pick her up at 5.30. Then as I walk to my base I get a phone call from the wife saying that she is on her way home. PANIC! I finish work and head for home. It isn't until 5pm that she arrives for home. But there are many issues. Wednesday. My wife gets stuck sitting on the commode and I can't get her off and we end up back at the A and E department of the hospital. What a waste of time. Thursday. Back to the normal routine work during the day and then off to the hospital in the evening to see my wife. Friday. Work and then in the evening its off to the gym. Saturday. Its the normal saturday routine. A quiet morning then off to the hospital in the afternoon to see my wife and then home. Sunday. Sunday again another same day. Watch Politics East on t.v in the morning and then off to Bar HIll for the weekly shop and then home. And in the evening A Sunday Ready Meal.
