Results of Fridays blood samples are through. GP is concerned re my high uric acid level. Hasn't mentioned the cholesterol, iron, glucose or other tests done.
As suspected, the lumpy knuckles on the gesticulating (aka middle) finger of my left hand have been confirmed as being ganglion cysts. http://d.pr/i/CHxSk
4 yrs ago my infected elbow was fixed by opening up the wound & flushing it out with about 2 litres of that iodine antiseptic. The surgeon was able to gather enough skin together to cover it up, there had been some concern that skin grafts may be needed.

Opened an email from a travelling friend. Several attachments: one photo & three links to extra photos which exceeded the size limits for normal email servers. This is a case of Apple's Mail Drop in action. https://support.apple.com/kb/ph2629
Taste test: two iced coffee drinks, one labelled as Latte, the other as Strong Latte, both 300 ml size. Three ingredients in each case, cold-filtered coffee extract, milk & raw sugar.
Latte: 4% coffee extract, 1.5 teaspoons raw sugar.
Verdict: Bland, insipid, too sweet.
Strong Latte: 4.5% coffee extract, 1 teaspoon raw sugar.
Verdict: More coffee & less sugar make this very fine indeed.
