Gah! No actual rain, of course, but overnight the humidity went from the just under 60% that it’s been for many days to rather over 70%.
Rapid changes in humidity play hob with my dodgy back: walking is a bit of a struggle, and the dishwasher (that ran overnight) will just have to remain loaded with clean stuff, as I can’t really bend to get at it. The forecast is for it to be much the same tomorrow, but by then I should be starting to adapt.
In other news, I spoke to the pharmacist at Spring Gardens medical centre this morning. He has prescribed a different statin, as I’d stopped taking simvastatin in December 2025 (the dose had been doubled to 40mg in July, and I’d had muscle aches and weaknesses from October onwards). Cholesterol has apparently shot up to about 6 … for comparison, it was 6.7 in 2012, down to 3.4 in the summer of 2014 after I started statins. After some discussion he will also prescribe an alternative to ibuprofen to manage my dodgy back, as ibuprofen is contra-indicated due to suspected slight impairment of my kidney function.
