Did a few small jobs about the place this morning, including having to track down an alternative source of supply for Blue's specialised "sensitive" cat food. Our usual supplier was out of stock and the #2 one had a problem with its checkout - just kept buffering and never loaded properly. So after some more searching I ended up - yet again - at Amazon. At least we're amply justifying the Prime subscription these days.
Went to Ongar for lunch (sandwich from the Tesco fuel station) and some practice boules. Played well and won the friendly doubles. On Sunday we will try to finish the doules competition - that means one pair (Frank just back from hospital and 90-yr old Felicitie just back from France) have three matches to play, the one against Brian and me being the third. I'm just hoping they'll be too tired to throw straight by the time they get round to us...
Week 4 (off lenalidomide) started last night.Usually I don't notice any difference between len and non-len weeks, but I didn't have all this sleep monitoring stuff back then. Will be interesting to look for any changes in the oxygen saturation and snoring patterns.
After hearing from my unofficial medical adviser who said "sooner rather than later", I emailed the photo of the "rash" on my inside left wrist to my GP. Being the weekend, it'll be a couple of days at least before he gets to see it. I the meantime I'm continuing with the antiseptic cream. Some of those spots are looking quite angry now - bright red centre surrounded by a pinkish circle.
After that bitterly cold night at Birchanger, I have the beginnings of a split on the end of my right thumb. Applying Vaseline. If I'm going to carry on playing through the autumn and winter (not to mention the spring) I'm going to have to find some gloves I can play with. Several people I know use gloves all the time, so it must be possible.
