Two months later: late Tuesday night, I was watching TV, when I felt a burning sensation in my leg. I rolled up my trousers to look at it, and a piece of skin the size of a 10p piece came away with it – it was just like a blister that had popped, but I had noticed no such blister, or any prior feeling of something amiss. Yesterday morning, it was looking inflamed, and I finally got to see a GP today. The cellulitus is back, and I am back on anti-biotics.
Month: June 2011
Some of you may remember that I had a bout of cellulitus in my leg in April, following a minor injury while in the States. It took three weeks worth of anti-biotics to get rid of it, which knocked me for six at the time. But it did seem to go, and after another week or so, the swollen legs went back to normal again.
Over the weekend, a blob appeared on my kindle screen. It is a small blob, and you can read around it, but it is annoying and distracting.
It appears to be E-Ink, as it is definitely under the screen, and is a small dot, with lines coming off it, looking a bit like a squashed spider.
The other day, I was in Asda in Peterborough. I don’t normally shop there, but I happened to be parked in their carpark. Anyway, they had some decent joints of pork shoulder. Whereas my local supermarket tends to only have rolled shoulder, these were the whole joint, with the bone still in – perfect for pulled pork.
It was dirt cheap, so I bought two, on the principle that while I had the Traeger going, I may as well fill the shelf.
Was planning to play board games today, but something cropped up and I had to stay in to wait for someone to call.
However, it meant that I did manage to spend about 6 hours in the garden today, and it is looking a lot tidier. After some very changeable weather, it was glorious sunshine today, and it was lovely out there.
Have recently bought a new NAS – a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo, which gives me 2 x 2TB drives, mirrored to each other (so I have 2TB storage).
I set my old NAS (a Western Digital WorldBook) to copying across everything overnight. Have just checked and everything has copied fine. The ReadyNAS tells me that with everything I have copied across, I am using 8% of the drive capacity.
