More painting.
More tidying after the little bit of rain we did get.
Very warm and windy. Beautiful blue skies.
Mrs L had a fall this morning, but no harm done.
I had a lie in. Slept ten ten hours ish. Mrs L disturbed my sleep at least four times. But I think I'm get ting back to the bad days before respite.
my hands are cramping around mid evening as I get tired.
and my neck has had better days.
I'm fine, really, honestly.
Teatime, gotta go.
Enjoy France @dunelm

27.08
7.10am FBG 6.1
catching up with posts gradually, but now is time to make tea for MrSlim
9.05am FBG 6.4 coffee, hope that will help. Am sure a day or two of minimal food is required after the excesses of the last few days.
Need to sort out the fridge, and catch up with laundry and gardening tasks.
Several very large courgettes and many beans to cook or freeze.

4.6 at 06.30 today. I slept in again.

Podiatry today, but a bit later on. My appointment has to be the last in the day so that I can take off my bandages and not have to leave my legs to their own devices for too long. Their own devices meaning swelling to twice their normal size - that's why the bandaging, which is done on Thursday mornings.

Bright and sunny here at the moment, with a slight breeze. Lovely.

Just found another suspicious lesion on my face so I'll need to see a GP to get that checked out. It's been there a long time, but now is growing and is rough. I'll try talking to a receptionist tomorrow at the Health Centre. If that's no use, I'll get in touch with the Practice Manager and see what she can do. Some of these things they leave alone, others need to be cut out because they are malignant, but I don't know how they tell the difference. So far I've had 4 malignant ones cut out of my face - that's why it looks the way it does.

Alistair just came in and he thinks it is worth getting someone to look at the lesion. I can't see it, it is on my jaw, just in front of my ear so I'm wasting my time trying to see it in the mirror.

More serious than that, Alistair fell and hurt his shoulder and neck about 2 years ago and when the pain didn't go away, he was told that it was probably arthritis. Now he is having trouble using his arms (not good for a postman who has to deliver parcels), and back and can't take strong enough pain killers to deal with the pain he is in because, of course, he is driving most of the day. He managed to see a GP who now thinks it might be an injury after all and is sending him to Glasgow for an MRI scan. When that will be, who knows?

His options now are: take long term sick leave and hope some treatment is possible to get him back to work or to take early retirement and take medication to deal with the pain. He has gone on for as long as he can and has reached this point now.
