Popping pills to try to get rid of this gout, it's really slowing me down.
Bummer. Looks like a favourite tea brand is no longer available in the supermarkets. Seems I have to buy online but there are still some tea shops to check first.
I buy small tubs of egg fried rice which I reheat in the microwave for a simple lunch but while tasty enough with basmati rice, carrot, peas & chopped egg omelette pieces, it lacks something. That is rectified by the inclusion of slices of Chinese lap cheong pork sausages. They really lift the flavour.
Aaaanndd, just as I start recovering from the twinge in my back that made walking so difficult, I developed gout in my left ankle overnight. Which makes walking even more awkward. Trying to favour one ankle without stressing the hip/back area on the other side is nigh on impossible. Ergo, I'm housebound today, I had hoped to visit my mother some 25 minutes away by car.
We buried Dad 14 years ago on this day. A family friend and leader of the municipal band stood off to one side at the end of the ceremony at the cemetery and played the Last Post on his trumpet. So haunting and yet so beautiful and peaceful.
