For once I'm willing it to rain slightly, so I can debut my new duckhead umbrella (there are two ways a misspelling could get me in trouble there).

I wore my fleece lined boots thinking that will hopefully prevent me getting any more chilblains/Raynaud's sores, but now they're rubbing my heels. I don't know how I used to wear ballet pumps in all seasons...

I've got chilblains on the chilblains on my toes (if they are chilblains to start with).

Neighbours highlight, Lucy Robinson's poem/limerick to her brother Paul in episode 41 :-
There was a young man called Paul,
Whose brain was incredibly small,
When he tried to think,
He started to blink,
And his pants began to fall.

I'm rewatching Neighbours from the start. My observations 100 episodes in:-
1. Storylines are resolved very quickly. There are some really normal everyday scenes, which are strangely amusing and relaxing (and desperately missing from modern soaps).

Looking at the sad photos of Woolton Hall in the aftermath of the fire reminded me of Customs House after the war. Both looked like the exterior was in not so bad shape (from a distance) and it's a shame to lose these buildings. I'm not an expert, so I imagine they weren't structurally safe.

Is this why local dairies always try to sell diaries towards the end of the year?

Just in case anyone thinks they're missing out on an NHS psychiatrist, today's discussion involved suggesting I take up creative writing via a dictaphone or write a book about The Beatles. Yeah, there aren't enough books about them, are there?

I started to think about getting an iPad as an incentive to start drawing and writing music again... then my hand pain returned. I need a new hobby.

I'm finally watching the Quant documentary and trying to remind myself that cutting all my hair off is not a good idea.

I put some books for sale on eBay this weekend, but did not expect Sleeper's The It Girl song book to be the first to sell.

I think Haematology might be the only department that manages to write letters that accurately reflect what's going on and what was discussed in the appointment. But... whoever typed them up has put 'libido' instead of 'livedo'. I hope my GP works out what they mean.

It's thirty years since the release of Pulp's 'Common People'. Thirty years before that The Beatles released 'Ticket to Ride' (April 1965) 🤯

The consultant and nurse have scared me with the risks of Warfarin so much I'm starting to think I should've covered the house in plastic sheeting (like people used to do with their front parlour).

I'm not sure what scares me most about starting anticoagulants - the risk of heavy bleeding or having to inject myself. My brain fog/lightheadedness is usually blamed on anxiety, so I appreciate they're actually taking it seriously.

I'm sorting through the piles of Beatles things I collected during the 1990s, which is proving quite the task... I wonder if there was anything good on TV that week?

One upside of shitty circulation is it takes about 1 minutes to shave off the few hairs I have left on my legs. One of the downsides is they look too horrific to see the light of day, so shaving was probably pointless.

That wonderful time of year where the sun is shining, but apparently it's 14C. I think whatever I decide to wear I'll either be too hot or too cold.

There appears to be an Instagram trend of overlapping sentences on reels. Why?! It makes me feel like my brain is malfunctioning (more than it already is).

I was in the garden for about 10 minutes this morning and had a low grade fever all afternoon. That can't be right, because Lupus doesn't exist apparently...

I've been undecided about a new mobile phone for about four months and now I've decided on the model, I can't choose the colour 😩 On the upside, it has come down in price by £150.

Why are there always aggressive people in online medical forums/groups that act like it's a competition? Someone just told me they had been in medical journals because they were "that bad" and I shouldn't be allowed blood thinners until I've had a clot. I'd rather prevent having one, thanks!

I have nail polishes that I'm never going to use again (including two Chanel ones I never got round to trying). Is there a market for second hand nail polishes?
