    I don't wish to show off but I have two bells on my bike. A rather stylish one that gives a single ping for more subtle warnings from Lion Bellworks (sound sample available), and a traditional brrrring btrrrring bell for more emphatic use. The subtle one gets more use.

      Try Witch Hazel....
      Antiseptic astringent... unlike most moisturisers, oils etc.



      Maybe last thing at night, and don't wash your hands for as long as possible...... it can also be more effective to put a plaster over any applied creams or ointments....leaving on as long as possible.

        Show off !!

        I bet you have one of those tuneful horns for when Palace score too.

        Or used to score....(occasionally )......when there were such fripperies as football.

        Seems worlds away.

          Don't encourage me...

          I will have to live off the memory of Ayew's stunning winner against Watford only three weeks ago. Our first (and last) visit to Palace this season. Also a family meet-up which also won't take place again for a while.

          (PS I also have two sheds)

            Thanks. Yes - I put the cream on just before I switch the light off at night. And usually before I go for a walk - these are the two longest times I go without practising guitar.

            My auntie also gave me some stuff that's fairly effective, but not quite as effective as the stuff prescribed for me. I'll try what you suggest. I tend to get eczema over the winter and, I think, at times of to some extent anxiety or nervousness... not that I consciously feel these things but I tend to interpret the appearance of eczema with these things! So - I hope it goes when summer comes round...

              I seem to be in the same situation re eczema/hives/chaps on the right hand in particular, and likewise worst in winter. Thanks ever so much to all for your suggestions. I have found a tub of Sudocrem which I will apply to the back of the hand before hitting the pillow later, and plasters over two cuts which have opened out on the index finger and tip of the thumb - these problems always seem to occur in the most awkward places! - and let people know how I get on. Thanks again.

                There’s a bit of cloud today, for comparison!

                  No sun, much cloud, and a strong cold wind. Taking exercise outside, of whatever kind, will be out of necessity not pleasure, and will do nothing for my sore eyes with the dust getting whipped up. There might be more sun later in the day but the wind will keep temperatures right down.

                    Similar here, though actually this weather is ok for me... much preferable to rain.

                      Cold N/NE winds, gusty, clouds, plenty of sun too. But far colder than past few days.

                          After the last few days of glorious spring sunshine here in the East Riding, today started off cloudy and this afternoon, it's degenerated into alternate periods of very heavy squally rain and dullness. Horrible! Can we have the sunshine back please?
                          Best regards,
                          Jonathan

                                Fresh NE breeze here in the SW; but it's been another lovely day, mainly sunny with just a little high, light cloud.
