Its been a bit of a nonstarter as weekends go, spent it in Hope Hospital as the NHS tried to decide amongst themselves what exactly was causing my hands / knuckles to sell to three times their original size. Several docs, registrars, a dermatologist and a rheumatologist later, er, no diagnosis. Lupus was the closest... Continue Reading →
Wednesday
My hands are killing me still today, itching, and loads of those blister things, it's crap not knowing what they are. Didn't sleep well at all, hands on fire. Even had to get one of the lads in B&Q to lift a tub of paint into the boot of my car, granted it was a... Continue Reading →

Having had a conversation with a friend whose sister is really poorly last night, my itchy hand pales into insignificance. Been on site this morning and Project Lennon and Project Cathedral are coming on a treat,... Continue Reading →
The downside of self employment
This is definitely the downside of being self-employed, can't take (paid) time off to sit in front of the tv, eat chocolate and do buggar all. Feel like shit, hands are killing me, had lots of blood tests today to see what this hideous finger thing is all about, lots of lesions and stuff on... Continue Reading →
