Back to Spain

Another stroll down now familiar streets knowing there will be a little ‘saudade’ for us when we have left tomorrow for other familiar territory in Spain. I am having trouble contacting our Portuguese friends from the Camino so hope they read this. My goal in Portugal was to complete a set of forty sonnets (which I have done) as part of this little book I intend to publish when I get home. In Spain I’ll do some writing to complement the poems centred around our journey together and with different friends on the Camino

Come on, take it! (said to both of us) (Pessoa, Portugal’s favourite poet (Fado singers sing his poems)

The best show in town (not the tables and trolley)

If you can so can I

not playin’

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2010 and am in the middle stages. My symptoms include a decline in muscle movement; occasional muscle spasm and internal trembling of the left side of my body and mouth; intermittent external trembling of my left arm; restless arms and legs; decreased facial expressions; an abnormally high production of phlegm; tiredness; and lower voice intonation. These symptoms have mostly remained unchanged since diagnosis. This walk is about showcasing that life doesn't end with Parkinson's, in my case it has given me a kick-start to live an rich life and working towards the best possible outcome.

Corrie’s temporary replacement Will is approved. Now looking forward to your attempt to outdo Pessoa’s work, Will.
