Day 2400 Long drive.

9th March 2024

This was not a work day, instead I was travelling to Whitney on Wye to see my friend Martin.

From my previous blogs, I have mentioned this is the guy who has suffered most of his life with Tourettes. He has battled for years with many other illnesses, the latest, bone cancer.

It is a long drive, observing the speed limits in wales, makes the journey seem even longer.

Once there it is an intense period where we cover everything possible, his health, his doctors , dentist and don’t mention politics.

I try to stay as long as I can, and promise to visit again before I go back.

It feels a long day, I’m exhausted, not sure if it’s dealing with his situation, trying to remain positive, or that I’m old and gets tired easily.

I don’t think that’s the case, I have energy but sadness and driving home in the dark is taxing, but I owe him my time especially now.
