Enjoy The Day.

''I am fifty years old and I have always lived in freedom; let me end my life free; when I am dead let this be said of me: 'He belonged to no school, to no church, to no institution, to no academy, least of all to any régime except the régime of liberty.''
Gustave Courbet.


Got to sleep fairly easily last nighthelped by the weed cakes, but sadly got woken up by some people shouting outside on the street.

Sounded like the new day had started and these were people working outside, when I reluctantly opened my eyes I immediately saw it was still very dark outside.

Discovered it was only 04.00 and the people outside were probably drunken people taking bottles with them to carry on drinking somewhere else.

Because I could not get back off to sleep, I got more THC from Richie and slept again really quickly which was very good.

Today the thick lid of clouds that has been over the city for the last month is trying to disperse.

There has been a flash of glorious sunshine which has been blotted out several times by huge clouds.

The temperature is supposed to g o up to 20 degrees Celsius, hope the cold wind goes away so we can really enjoy a late summer.

This year our summer has not been good, one good week at the end of April, it was 6 degrees Celsius and lovely balmy weather.

Was brilliant weather for my first trip outside, made the mistake of thinking that the weather would stay good.

The next day the 30 April was dismal, storm, rain and dreary, such a horrible contrast to the warm sunny day before.

The 30 of April is the Queen’s official birthday and there are street parties, it is the one day people can have an unlicensed stall and sell things, sadly it was a washout.

May was cool and cloudy and raining and so was June, the last days of June it got warm and then boiling hot this lasted until the final of the World Cup, which was mid July, when the weather cooled considerably.

Summer seemed to depart in August and an early autumn arrived; all these weather changes have not been easy to cope with.

MS does not like such weather changes they are all difficult to get used to looking forward to getting used to some warm weather soon.

Did not enjoy wearing an extra layer plus blanket over my legs seemed too early to do that in August.

Whatever it is like today I will enjoy the day.

Exciting Visit This Afternoon.

Have been asked by my physiotherapist for information about Sativex, she goes to someone else with MS who is interested in using Sativex.

This is not available here as we have access to weed both from the coffee shops as well as via a doctor’s prescription.

As all I know is that Sativex has extracts of cannabis in the spray and you spray it in your mouth.

Would have thought that vaporising weed would give you all the effect you would need, wonder what the other components of Sativex are and their effects.

Think I will suggest that this other client of Mathilde tries making weed cake or chocolates as eating weed has a different effect.

Yesterday it rained all day and all night, during the night there were huge gails, it sounded like all the vegetation was being blown away.

Our windows rattled and it felt like the building would fly away, made me think of Toto and whirlwinds.

This afternoon is going to be very exciting as the daughter of Jeannette, a good friend of mine, who now lives in New Zealand, will visit this afternoon.

Looking forward very much to meeting Heather, have heard so much about her and have enjoyed the annual family letter which she wrote for a number of years before going to University.
