Had to go back to the quack today. That annoying rash on my thigh has reappeared and is annoying the hell out of me. Apparently it is most likely some sort of food allergy so now it is down to a process of elimination by progressively depriving me of all my favourite things to eat one at a time and noting if it stops. I wouldn't mind but apparently this is just the cheaper option as there is a nice expensive laboratory blood analysis which would do the job without me being deprived of any nourishment whatsoever. I know we are in financially tight times but you would of thought that the odd 90 euro blood test was not beyond the means of my far from underfed or deprived parents. If that new iPad appears on my dad's desk anytime in the next few months I shall have something to say about it, you can be sure. In the meantime I will continue with the above or something similar to ease the itching.
However, the good news is that we seem to have cracked the rodent problem. No nocturnal activity in the roof and no bait being taken anywhere. Total tally is so far three with an unpleasant odour in the neighbour's shed which suggests a possible fourth! Glad to see all my advice has paid off.
Mum is currently on this fitness drive. She has got herself a Wii Fit box and now spends an hour or so each day in front of the TV doing yoga, step ups, hula hoops and running round the island (whatever that is). By the way, that is not her above - she has not lost that much weight!
Whilst I am all for her getting fit, it is rather disturbing my morning kip, and with it raining cats and humans at the moment, I can't even retreat outside for a bit of peace and quiet.
However, all is quiet at the moment so I will just have to start catching up on my kip right now. See y'all.
