You can never have enough...

The oddness of yesterday just continued, & we had a power cut from early afternoon right until early evening, when I was extremely glad to see it come back on. Apparently a tree or three had come down in the wind & caused the problem - there were tree people working along the street mulching what was cut down.
After reading for a while, I decided to use the time to have another foray into the workroom with the idea of perhaps sorting things out further & possible chucking some of it up the gully.

But then I stumbled across a pad of black drawing paper so thought I'd just have a short play with the pastels. I haven't used them for years so really enjoyed it, they're so tactile. And messy - I managed to get pastel dust from xmas to breakfast & the drawing wasn't very good but I decided I liked it anyway so may keep it if I can find some non acidic tissue paper. Don't think I have any left but then in the depths of the wilderness which is the workroom, who knows.

I had to visit the Dr Monday as I'd had pain across the top of my head, down the side along the jaw & down into my neck, chewing hurt a bit & thought it might be neuralgia so in I went. She actually got a bit of a gleam in her eye when I told her the symptoms & enthusiastically looked up something or other on her computer. Oh dear; nope, not neuralgia but something known as Large cell Arteritis which can cause blindness if untreated...oh joy.
So I was given blood tests to check & I was to go back next day when she'd have the results - & sure enough, her diagnosis gave indications of being right so its steroids & aspirin for me for a while, & no doubt more blood tests to check later.
If any of you get those painful symptoms, do NOT muck about hoping it goes away, just go to your Dr.
