Martin’s finally trying the charcoal cheddar he got last week. Made with charcoal from a coal mine about 10 miles from my dad’s birthplace in West Yorkshire! The Cheesery shops in Dundee and Broughty Ferry sell 3 types of it. He got the plain charcoal one. “Ooh that’s a cheddar! Ooh that’s weird! It’s kind of like it’s sweet, and cheesy and yeah! It’s very peculiar! It’s nice. I’m not sure if I’d go for it again. But it’s definitely wow.” He added it’s doing the get you at the side of the cheeks strong cheddar taste thing. Also, my observation, looks like black pudding when cut! I’m staying off it because of some drugs I’m on. In particular it could be problematic for my anti incontinence drug. But I am enjoying watching him try it 😜

I’m undoubtedly neurologically flaring again, for the 6th time after a Covid vaccine. Fortunately no terrifying headaches yet, and my limb control is still pretty good. But I’m having an enormous problem battling sedation - it feels constantly as though the shutters are closing down on me. And my bladder control is appalling. Not a good combination to be dealing with. But comfortable as can be. This will probably get worse before it gets better - it’s very likely, for example, that I’ll start getting horrific headaches. And it’s all likely to last for 3 months.
