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. Both of us are getting very apprehensive. Nerves are beginning to show but who can blame us. The morning is spent holding hands, no computer, or paperwork. Then lunch and then the normal gym session. Tuesday. Its back to work! but I am always thinking about my wife and not what's going on around me. I do my job as normal and then home. Wednesday. I have booked next week off on annual leave as mentally I do not want to do my job. All I keep thinking about is my wife. However I plod along as usual. Thursday. Getting stressed now. If I feel like this then what is my wife feeling like. Luckily all the buildings are clean and that's a surprise. I clean very quickly and then off to home. Friday. Just one week before the operation. I go to work with a cloud over my head. The buildings are clean and at the end of the day and week I hand in the keys and home. It is now the most stressful of times. Saturday. We did absolutly Nothing. We are both stressed and fearful of whats to come. My wife reminds me if the worst happens that she wants to be cremated and I stated that it won't probably come to that. We both hold hands for most of the day. Sunday. Although we are both stressed we did the normal things, the weekly shop and cook Sunday Roast.
