I really must learn to use the proper camera and be ready to walk up the road when the sky goes this colour!

Went to see my urologist following an MRI on my troublesome prostate last week.

It is officially a whopper at 110cc.

The good news is, no sign of cancer. :thumbup:

Virtual beers on me. :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Wait 'til I knock one out. It'll be huge load off me prostate. :thumbup:

Too much..? :think: :oops:


On a more serious note, he's now happy that he can map the prostate with the MRI, along with the camera exam from a few weeks back, and he's only gonna shave the middle bit (median lobe), hopefully with less collateral damage and lasting side effects when he does the TURP, which is scheduled for Jan.

The lady who runs this place is amazing
Speaks fluent French and Spanish.
She loves to chat, so I start in Spanish but soon revert to French :obscene-birdiedoublered:

She lived in Cadaques as a kid. She lived in one country but got the boat to the school in the other country. Cool :)

And at meal times she plonks bottles of red on a couple of tables and then fills up other table's glasses as appropriate :D

No-one cares about the bill as it's so cheap

Wondering what to have for lunch, when around comes sister-in-law with copious sausage sandwiches, made with proper bread doorsteps, for her boyfriend who is doing some decorating at Chez Gremlin. Way too many for him to eat. :thumbup:

And some homemade rocks cakes.

I think she's trying to impress him with her domestic goddess routine. Worked out well for me. :D

Everything is better with cake, as my boss said the other day!!

Well, he didn't just say that! He said "cake and, err" and so after me trying to work out what the err was, he finally said it -

"Everything is better with cake and a blowjob" :lol: :lol: (we were talking about a friend that did me a favour so I'm going to make him cake!! Not about my boss! :lol: :lol: )

Bloody hysterical - even more so this morning when I told him to tell my colleague and he was too embarrassed to repeat it in front of her :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: So I told her (cos she has the same sort of sense of humour as me! )

When I went out to meet friends for dinner, it was snowing a smidge, but I could also see the almost full moon!

Came out of the restaurant a couple of hours later to find that there is no full moon to be seen, but tis definitely snowing :D :D :D
