Cankle! (aka Mozzies Bit My Ankle!)
I was foolishly outside in the garden for much of Toast's housewarming party, and got my legs bitten. Bloody mosquitoes got my left ankle three times, and now, two days later, it is looking like a strange balloon. It is full of fluid, and movement, including walking, is very painful. I am writing this while lying flat on my back, legs up against the wall, laptop propped on my stomach, because my Mum said elevating the feet would help to drain the fluid out. I was pleased to find that I cannot actually feel this happening, though I hope it is. I think being on my feet all day at work wasn't good for it. I'm working 9 till 5 tomorrow, and I really don't want to be sent home for excessive limping.
Also, 'mozzies' isn't a racial slur, is it? Sorta sounds like it ought to be.
