More pain!

Hot on the heels of the toe incident (which flaired up again last Thursday, making me miss a days work due to walking difficulties) I've managed to trip over today and bash my knee, causing a nice red swelling bruise! (Hopefully nothing worse!) I just don't seem to bounce quite as much as I used to! Surely I'm not getting old...?

Toe wise, I had blood taken last week and now need to wait for the results... The GP appeared uninspired by my complaint and suggested that they wouldn't treat gout (if that is what it is) long term but simply manage the flair ups with anti-inflammatories - all well and good but it takes a week to get an appointment with teh GP and the flair ups only last 12-24 hours. I'm also not happy at the thought of having to take time off work on a semi-regular basis - I've got too much to do! I may be inclined to switch GP practices if I don't feel happier after my next contact...!

In other news, We're on an antique spending spree of sorts at the moment... Bakerlite Telephone, Two Mantle clocks, a barometer and another barometer-thingy all in our possesion or on the way... Pictures to follow!

Eurovision in less than a week - our dismal entry I can't imagine making a dent on the competition but our annual Eurovision-party, tihs year in Coventry is well into the planning... I'm presuming there'll be a knockout stage again during the week so Scoresheets won't be produced till last minute as I'm working Thursday / Friday! Still, it's a big night to look forward to, in the good company of friends and Sir Terry! Jxx
