Another down

So later on Thursday we set off once more for the hospital.

We passed lakes where they are normally fields. The roads were covered with detritus swept up by the high water line at high tide. We drove around the odd lake at the edge of the road. However, there was no road closure the route we took so we had time to stop for a coffee/hot chocolate at the RVS café before going to Dermatology next door.

We were very promptly through to see the doctor there. We’d barely sat down in the waiting area, hadn’t had time to get out our reading matter to pass the time of the wait, when we were called through.

Conclusion – well I’m allergic to Balsam of Peru. Be very careful with make-up & hair dyes. Always spot test for 24 hours before using a new brand of suntan lotion. Make sure you moisturise well. All pretty straight forward. As for the various foodstuffs related to Balsam of Peru, try them. Only cut things out if I find I have an adverse reaction – precisely what I’ve done for the past 60 odd years. Apart from that I’ve been discharged from that department. If I have any flare ups or other problems don’t hesitate to come back.

We returned home in a happier frame of mind. That’s another place less to keep having to go to.

Yesterday we discovered the Lakeland Fells across the Bay have put on their white caps for the winter. The temperature here has gone done. The hail we’d had, obviously had fallen as snow there.  You can feel the chill of the snow.
