The other day I mentioned that I’d developed carpal tunnel syndrome, but that it was just a bit of numbness and pins and needles: nothing major.

It seems that my optimism was premature: it’s now flipping sore, particularly at night. It woke me up at 3 o’clock this morning and was so painful that I ended up heading to the living room to spend some quality time on the sofa with Tui the Wonder Dog. I’m going to try to track down a decent wrist brace later today.
