Glad that you’ve got something sorted out, but it’s going to be a lot different from Bots

Not only is it Friday, it is BLACK FRIDAY!
Actually ordered a couple of things from the Big River Co. yesterday for delivery this morning.
They were things that were more or less needed so the sale price on one item was a bonus.

Wodders has just asked us about cost of renting here. A tip. We tried to rent through Air BnB but had problems with the site. The appsrtment is owned by a rental company. They said just rent direct with us. It was cheaper.

Isn't always the case with booking direct?

[Ex-Ascot]

Yes RiS but didn't know that we could. Many properties on Air BnB are owned by companies but they don't advertise them independently.

The real Goldenbollocks in ZA

An underage illegal miner who emerged from Shaft 10 in Stilfontein along with other teenagers on Thursday morning, was found with gold wrapped in a white cloth around his penis, according to police.

Police spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, said on Thursday that the gold was found during an interrogation process.

"We can confirm that gold estimated at R80 000 was found in the teenager's private parts," she said.

The first night I was in Canada we saw something very similar as we came out of the mess, first thoughts were "How much did we drink?".

Mrs K3 is doing great, she hasn't worn her glasses since she left the clinic and can read subtitles on the TV already. She has to use eyedrops four times a day for 28 days, she was told she may have some discomfort as the anaesthetic wore off but that only lasted half an hour. She has a follow up appointment in 11 days. The surgeon gave us his personal cell phone number just in case. She said if she had known how it was she would have had it done a long time ago.

That's superb news. Well done to the clinic (and her of course).
05:40 here, drinking tea before heading out into the 5° dawn for my back scan.....

[OFSO]

Arrived clinic 07:30 for 08:00 scan. Doors locked. Place deserted.

In honour of Ex-A I am having a breakfast beer - well after paying the monthly tax instalment and a phone bill, and putting up a load of laundry to dry. Another busy day ahead.
OFSO positive thoughts for the exam results.

Speaking from the experience with my late father and others, there does seem to be a lot of resistance from people who need this procedure, but those who have been through it always say that they regret not having it done earlier. Perhaps it’s something to do with “the eyes to the soul “ causing anxiety.

[Ex-Ascot]

Morning folks. Overcast. Breakfast beer. Still not happy.

[Wodrick]

G'day,

22c !! 42% high overcast.

Supply run for the weekend although today and tomorrow are planned in my little head.

Think I will take El RAV this afternoon for a wash and brush up. It's very dirty with all the dew.
Black is not ideal for the Spanish countryside.

When they taking you in *ExA* ?

Further PM sent.

MRI results on Monday. Big surprise was that the Clinic St Creu has been totally refurbished inside, and to the highest standard. Immaculate. MRI was usual 20 minutes of noise and confinement but nothing to worry about. Radiographer as friendly as they all seem to be. €240.50.
