The Anonymous Widower

Between a Rock And A Hard Place

Over this winter I have severely dehydrated myself, due to the bad design of this house. I regularly have lukewarm baths to try to get more water back into my body. My GP’s colleague thinks this is a good idea.  I’ve also had air-conditioning fitted, so that my house is usually at about 25 °C with upwards of 40% humidity. I also drink quite a bit to try to raise the moisture levels in my body.

However my cardiologist says that I must not drink more than 1.5 litres a day. I don’t think I do!

But my skin is still as dry as a bone and I itch like crazy. The guy who cuts my hair, says my scalp is very dry and I scratch everywhere like mad. Especially, the backs of my legs, my back, my scalp and my throat.

The problem did clear up last year, but only when we got some sun.  Fat chance of that this year.  Why did the Queen have to have a ruddy jubilee to guarantee bad weather this summer?

Has anybody any serious ideas, other than moving to Australia?
