My leg has decided to have a flare up.
I've had the startings of a flare up a number of times over the last few years, and it is usually dealt with my a low dose of a relatively mild steroid cream. Once in a while I have to up the ante with a slightly stronger steriod cream.
This time I got to the Napalm level steroid cream. I've had to go back to the practices when I was first diagnosed, and it's a little....wearing. I tried phoning the Skin Clinic, but they've been disbanded and I was told to call my GP and ask for a dermatology referral.
I'll see what happens over the next couple of days. I've been trying to work up the enthusiasm to see the GP about something else, and I really dislike trying to get two things sorted at once.
In kitchen news, we've made some decisions (we think) about one of the runs. If a suitable unit comes available, we'll move forward with that.
And I bought a used piece of granite worktop, which has a cut out for an undermount sink which is a useable size (a bit small, but still useable) for the sink I've got my eye on. It is also almost exactly the width we need (it is 222cm, and the perfect size would be something like 223).
DH and I discussed whether we could use it as a temporary install, so we could get the sink unit, the sink, and the new water softener installed, and the dishwasher moved. The water softener and the water filter are, hopefully, going to be located in a different cupboard, so this temporary install will let ys see whether everything works as expected. We decided it was worth a punt!

DB and I collected it on our way back from our most recent fortnightly visit to our Mum. It was a bit of a detour, but better than making a separate journey. The sellers were lovely, and their house was beautiful and in a stunning location.
DB's planning was excellent, and the worktop fitted, diagonally on it's edge, with about 1cm to spare. He'd also brought along stuff to support it so it didn't fall over.
It weighs a ton (over 90kg), and it's now sitting in the hallway waiting for me to get everything else ordered. We're just trying to work out the best way to support the sink, as there is lots of conflicting advice around. Darling Cousin is going to come and have a look and advise.
