I've just come round to ask you, Mrs Holroyd

Last year I was diagnosed with arthritis in my fingers. Various blood tests showed it wasn't one of the scary auto-immune kinds, and x-rays revealed no damage, so I have non-specific pain in my finger joints which is therefore diagnosed as arthritis. The leading drug to treat this does wonders for my fingers, but makes me quite ill. Accordingly, I have decided to tolerate painful fingers.

Except of late, I'd noticed that they weren't particularly bad. Hardly hurt at all, in fact. In the past few days, though, I've noticed that they've suddenly been painful again.

This morning, I twigged that my knuckles getting bad seems to correspond neatly with the recent damp, drizzly weather we've been having.

Apparently I actually am feeling the damp weather in my bones. Coming soon: how nothing is like it used to be, how all modern music just sounds like noise, and why I am about to get a blue rinse.

Lots of modern music is actually sounding like noise to me, thanks to deteriorating hearing and increasing processing issues, but the much scarier phenomenon is that music I used to loathe is sounding quite good to me now! (90s dance music, mostly.)

Last night, in Subway, I was singing along to Haddaway!

That is one of the worst culprits! It's so damn catchy. And yet ... I hated it with a passion when it was first out. I'd leave rooms to avoid it. ARGH.

I have also found myself "quite liking" Will Young, though mostly his covers on the Dermot O'Leary sessions. These are currently my most played CDs/tracks (thank you, AutoRip), even though a lot of them are either cheesy or the kinds of songs I just did not like 10 years ago. What is happening to my brain?! :D
