Psuedo-shingles

So it's Wednesday and still no rash. Or at least no rash that is visibly different from the usual multitude of tiny red spots that cover my back and arms (and which I inherited along with the rest of my siblings from my father). I had one really itchy spot on Sunday evening in one of the places that hurt, but I had also earlier that day forcibly removed a flying ant queen from my top, so chances are it was that. The actual discomfort is getting less with time and tends to be more itchy than painful at the moment.

So either I've had a really mild case of shingles my body beat, or it was the pulled nerve, or it was something else, or it's waiting for me to relax to strike in all it's itchy fury. Considering I have a half day off work tomorrow, I expect it to strike then if it's going to. Looks like though I've got off lightly this time which is good. Still I won't relax till all the symptoms have gone.

In other news purplegirl23 linked me to this: Information on Shark Attacks which amused me.

Finally one of the Math students I graduated with has the radio sitcom he co-wrote starting next week Thursday 17th at 23:00 on Radio 4. It stars Blackadder's Tim McInnerny and is script-edited by Father Ted's Arthur Mathews. The official page is here I suggest you tune in.
