Well, yes, that’s true…but what have you eaten, anytime today?

That Sparrer’s Bruvver is up bright and early. Encountered him on the terrace in me deshabille (wot? Some people don’t have terraces in their nightwear? Such deprivation…)

He glared at me steady and menacing-like. Perhaps he was on, um… ‘business’. All most mysterious.

No woolly jumpers required here (or protoscarves, for that matter). Had a walk by the River Blyth which required stoicism to complete. Horrible soggy warm air, blasted teeny thunder flies everywhere. Yuk. However - I have had my daily exercise and have started preparing dinner.

I wasn’t saying, yesterday, because that foot exploded in the evening into squashy oedema almost everywhere below the ankle and was very uncomfortable at the point at which I stood up to go to bed; but the fact that it managed to this by stealth indicates that it isn’t hurting. Is oedema usual as part of gout? I have never had it in my life before, so I am a little anxious about it.

I’ve found a pair of elf-boots which I have had for years, soft suede ankle-boots which zip up the back and have tassels round the edges, and which are kind to my foot and comfortable to wear, so we went shopping for all sorts of things and had a proper Expotition. In the course of it we passed a funeral directors’ shop in the window of which was an urn which said it was In Memory of Tom Archer, and Gus got all excited, but it was also for Sue His Wife, so we didn’t think it could be the right one.

No, you weren’t, were you…
You need a Doctor for this one. Even though you are a kind Fish, regarding caramel Magnums. I would suggest elevation, of course I would, in the interim.
