Further to my medically knowledgeable son’s intervention, it turns out that my double big toe ‘gout’ event was probably triggered by not only a  damp cold night in the garden stargazing but also by the steaming cup of hot marmite I downed in the kitchen to warm myself up after a three hour imaging session.

Who would have guessed that amateur astronomy was such a high risk activity, with hazards literally everywhere, for the more elderly incautious astro imager and occasional imbiber of a warming cup of hot water infused with marmite.

My son also encouraged me to lose weight and drink less Guinness.
