The Doctor is In.

There is something wrong with my right bloody foot again.

Not the Achilles tendon this time, though I daresay that will come back when it is appropriately inconvenient. No, this time, it is something inside the foot around the joint of the second and third toes. It hurts more when I walk than it does when I simply stand and walking downstairs is an interesting experience. It seemed to start yesterday, but is far more tender today.

I have taken an aged anti-inflammatory to see if that will help do the trick - it was prescribed for backache ages ago and I justify its use now on the grounds that experience tells me that if I keep limping because of the pain in the front of my foot the unnatural gait will make my ankle hurt. The adjustment to my walking because of the ankle will mean that my knee joint will give out and then I shall have to adjust further, which will make my hip sore. Once my hip joint is acting the arse, it's only a matter of time before I feel it at the base of my spine, so I may as well cut to the chase and take the pill now.

Right. Enough prevarication. I have some model painting to do.
