Mr C used to have steroid cream applied twice daily, in very carefully measured amounts.
On top of that he had to have stuff of the texture & consistency of lard, to try to protect the skin.
Poor sod used to go to bed ‘oven ready’…

Emulsifying ointment?
Very good too - especially after bath/shower. My nightly routine is Elocon (steroid), then EO, then cotton gloves. A right rigmarole, but it does work.
Thank you all for advice
One of my closest friends is the village pharmacist so I will ask her for an emollient cream
It’s quite horrible having purple arms
When I was in the pharmacy I showed my arm to my friend who exclaimed
Oh you poor peteen you must be in misery
I replied that she was not wrong
And in other news I bought a new jumper of the Christmas persuasion in Tossco a chenille affair with squeakwins in the shape of penguins on a pink jumper
I like it so knickers to those who don’t like squeakwins
I love them!
It’s the chenille wot makes me shudder, Twellsy…

I’m not surprised. Bluddy cold at this time of year. I’d stick with the tunnel…
Congratulations, joe. You have won a Beady Glare.
(glares don’t come much beadier than mine as That Fish can attest, having seen but a small proportion of Me Stash)
you have quite stopped biting your nails? 
Gawds
I too have seen the Beady Glare…
Carinthia. xx
But not yet the Stash, Dahlink.
Persons should think themselves lucky it’s only a glare, really, given what I told you all a while back about beaded bum’oles.
Medicinals? (rather urgently required, I suddenly feel)
Gxxx
All have won, all shall have medicinals!
on a slightly misty day, when the only flying worth doing involves a lot of gestures and “so there I was, inverted, nothing on the clock but the maker’s name…”
And the scaffolders have gone, very swiftly on the whole.
Now all I have to do is find a plumber to mend the actual leak, since it clearly wasn’t actually a hole in the roof.

Noooooooo! < hideous oaths >
Gawds, Fishers. Sometimes a sigh just doesn’t cut it. Sympathy from me, fwiw.
Soo
Où sont les saucisses d’antan?
Dans l’accenteur mouchet.
Hideous oaths from me too, Fishy
Plus an Pitcher of the finest Minnow End
Were the roofers actually able to tell you the source of the leak ?
Am going to get changed & Flump

I wasn’t in when they went into the attic to look, so I don’t know what they said.
Would it be worth 'phoning or emailing them?

I was there and have seen all that there is to see. I know where the plumber needs to be pointed to pin down the specific source of the problem.
And finding a plumber is liable to be my job, I suspect.
