A confusing title.
When I opened this I expected to read a blog about someone's uncomfortable broken limb when perspiration under the plaster cast was causing an irritation. I was going to suggest judicious application of a knitting needle as cure. But no, it's a useful list of dramatist personae for 'Sweat and Tears'. I was coping OK, mostly, except I was struggling with Aidan who seemed to find Tessa insatiable and somewhat draining (literally, I thought).
Thanks, Steph
