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. I must have misheard the conversation as I have a whatsapp channel. My mum's hip op is scheduled for this coming Friday. My wife is still in recovery and I am allowed to visit her and so I do. She has some shocking news for me. She has had a heart attack! Tuesday. Back to work! The tourist season is now dead. So the buildings remain clean throughout the day. I catchup on the adventures of @CambridgeDelivers as I have been thinking more of my wife. Then in the evening I go to the hospital to see my wife as I had a phone call last night that she had been moved to a ward. Wednesday. The tourists have gone and the buildings are again clean. But all the time I am thinking about my wife. Then the end of the day comes and I head to my uncles as he lives near the hospital and has offered to give me a lift there. I spend 90 minutes with her and then get picked up and then head for home. Thursday. Its the same thing as yesterday. The buildings are clean and I end the day late and then in the evening I go and see my wife. Friday. Whatsapp is now bubbling away as my mum is now heading for her hip op. I give my mum my best wish's for a successful operation. The last day of the working week and the buildings remain clean. All the buildings remain clean and I leave off late and hand in the keys. On whatsapp my mum's operation is a success. I go and see my wife. Saturday. My mum's recovery is remarkable as the hospital says that she can be discharged this afternoon. In the afternoon I go and see my wife. All the tubes have been removed but she is still on the heart monitor. I spend 2,5 hrs with her and then head for home. Sunday. No visiting today so its all the usual things including doing the washing.
