Cream Problems

Hot on the heels of my pill problems comes a problem with creams.

I was eaten alive this week by either,

  1. Mosquitoes or,
  2. Fleas or 
  3. Both
I would not normally bother but the itching was driving me to distraction so I reached for the bite cream. Usually this lessens the itch within a day. However two days later things were no better.

I reached for the cream again. This time with my glasses on.

What I thought was cortysol cream, that i had liberally spread over my dozen bite, wasn cortysol.

It was a cream for athlete's foot.

Pill problems

Unusually for me I just read the patient information on my pills. Apparently you are not supposed to take Co Drydamol if you are in a coma!!!!

Flour Power


After a prolonged spell of inactivity I am back!

Today saw me trying to make a loaf of bread. As per usual I reached for the bag of flour in the cupboard above me...and that is when things went wrong.

A sneaky bag of gram flour was in the way. I grabbed it, just a little too eagerly. two seconds later I looked like a polar bear. The flour had leaped out of the bag. all over my shirt, trousers, shoes, arm, neck and the floor, diary, bin, Mrs Blog's water bottle and sideboard.

A few curses later I grabbed the vacuum and hoovered up the worst of it. I mopped and wiped the residual evidence and congratulated myself for not smashing anything a fit of temper.

I picked up the vacuum to put it back where Mrs Blog likes to keep it but...

...it opened itself and tipped all the bloody flour back on the floor again. :-)

Aaaargh!!
