had the chemist look at my nut... reckons its just a scabby area, to moisturise. if any change or now healed in a couple of weeks then i have to go to the doctors
Personally I'd go to the doctor now but we will be after a comparison photo in two weeks. Expect further nagging!

Good evening all. We have had a great day out on the salt marshes of the Camargue.

Lots of flamingoes and lots of other interesting birds too. Probably one of our better visits there.

Ragondin (Coypu) - look something like a beaver-sized water vole - are a regular sighting, but today we got an adult with 6 tiny pups. They looked like pom-poms with tails :) Photos on a decent camera not my phone, sorry.

And to top it off a first ever sighting for us of a "Cistude d'Europe" aka European Pond Turtle (Emys Orbicularis). No photos of this either. It's basically mud coloured with a spotty head and when swimming in muddy water it was more than our cameras could cope with let alone my phone :D

Naughty coypu are an invasive species, but they do look nice.

Lots of terns (little & common) too. The 3 main egrets, purple & grey herons, kentish plover, black winged stilt and a good selection of other waders... and the list goes on :)

The Coypu are invaders, I know. We have even seen them in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. I think they've finally got rid of them on the Norfolk Broads.

Me too, pharmacists aren't docs and in this day and age any changes in skin. moles warts etc should all be investigated.
Yup - more nagging on the way!!
In Morocco every pharmacy has to have a doctor on duty by law.
Very brilliant idea, I reckon, keeps waiting rooms clear to a large extent.

Seven prickly pear fruits.
3 potatoes (this better last the rest of the month)
2 tomatoes (one as a treat for Tidgy, one for wifey).
4 screw fitment light bulbs (one in the chandelier popped last night).

On the way home, we bought

a bottle of Orangina
a loaf of bread
Cassoulet for 4 (Quick & easy dinner)
Toilet rolls
Pains of chocolat

Total cost about £14 - You win! (I blame the exchange rate; last year it would have been about £11 :( )

Hmmmmm.
The falling pound is not helping us, either.
