You know that scene at the end of The Italian Job? Well of course you do, everyone does. The lorry is balanced on the edge of a cliff and there’s no way of getting the gold off without unbalancing it and sending them all to their deaths. Well that seems like my life at the moment. I had, as you will know if you’ve been paying attention, a nasty rash right in the middle of my face. It was sore and itchy and it made me look as if I’d been mugged. Well, I solved that problem, or so I thought; I got a cream from the doctor and after 3 or 4 weeks it was almost clear. So I stopped using it. In the meantime my ears got blocked and I was having to lip read to understand what anyone was saying. Drops did not cut it, and the GP won’t syringe. So we bought a syringing kit online and used it. Success! Well, sort of: one ear got unblocked and the other improved. But in the meantime the rash has flared up again.
Maybe I should have just blown the bloody doors off…
