Very Rash Indeed


The rash became even more spectacular overnight so trotted it off to the quack this morning. The markings had become more like a heat-related rash, but there may well be an allergic element. I have chucked out the Calgon and the cheapie baby oil from the pound shop. The quack thought it was not the glucosamine,thank goodness and gave me some antihistamine tablets. No booze and will feel drowsy.

That done, I took delivery of more food for Malvolio. He has been off insulin for a few days and seems to be fine, though I shan't be sure for a few weeks, probably. Perhaps he has type II diabetes, since they didn't diagnose it until he was about 10. If so, it can be controlled by diet alone. We shall see.

Making slow progress with yet another portrait. This is one of Ivan, a drinker and bar owner from Barcelona. His passions are bullfighting, sniffing various substances, women, fast cars, sevillanas, flamenco and mixing with the criminal underworld.
