Neti, you don’t catch shingles. It is caused by chicken pox virus lodged in a nerve root from having chicken pox. people with shingles shed the virus from the rash but it gives people chicken pox if they haven’t had it, not shingles. Here endeth the lecture :) Had a good day here today did a bit of sorting and tidying, made a sourdough pancake batter which works over night and gets cooked tomorrow, posted my Fil’s father’s day card, moved ten sacks of compost and put a a bit of stuff away in my new craft room. Not bad for a boiling hot day
