Back home. Feel normal except for sensation that a Sonic Screwdriver has been inserted up my rectum, which for an MRI Fusion Biopsy is exactly what it was, a sonic transducer...
Results in two weeks.

That seems a lot when you are paying, I expect it's waiting for the biopsy to perform. Hope it's ok.

Re two week biopsy results:they have to grow some cells from my samples. And at my age, cells aren't exactly whizzing around. I think lethargic might be an appropriate word.

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs ExA from me as well - hope you enjoy the memories of that day.

Can't forget our wedding day - spent the night on a train stuck in a snow drift along with 300+ other passengers.
It's always my fault - SWMBO

Did any of the 300+ wonder why the carriage rocked? :))

Morning folks. Nice but a cool wind.

Hope all goes well OFSO. We could not get there in time Karearea don't think he is in for long.

Sorry about your Uncle OHL. You really do need an avatar. What about this one from Friday Jokes by Hydromet:

https://www.ops-normal.org/viewtopic.ph ... 70#p366970

Edit. We both have our 26th today. Bubbly in the fridge S,A, of course.
I, also, would join Karearea to keep him company and enjoy the hospitality.
Need to see the bar menu though.
They both look pretty low to me. :-? :))
Happy, Happy! :-bd :YMPARTY: :YMAPPLAUSE:

... and Jim, as usual at the end of the queue with his congrats to Ex-As.
SWMBO and I have unfortunately let it slip that our 25th is on its way. Rumblings that the choir have something in hand... haven't forgotten our 20th. We'll never learn. :-ss

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs. Ex A. One thing to remember ExA is don't forget the date in the future as the female of the species has ways of ensuring
you remember. The folly of not remembering was pointed out to me at work on the appointed day, had my head buried under the cowl of a Jet Ranger
when I was tapped on the shoulder by a delivery lady with a large bunch of flowers and a floaty balloon with the words Happy Aniversary in front of all
the hangar pissing themself with laughter. Needless to say, I remembered in future.

Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits for the first of June.
Just returned from supermarketing. They have done away with plastic bags for fruit and vegetables, they provide paper bags now.
The day is mild and breezy, 18.4°C at the moment.
Listening to car radio earlier, I'm sure half the other drivers at the traffic lights had their lips moving too, singing along with American Pie.
And with the morn, those angel faces smile...

Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs ExA!
Likewise from me. Am being taken to an Italian Restaurant here in Takikawa this evening and will raise a glass in your direction at some point. :-bd

Good nights sleep other than indigestion from cheese sauce on pasta. Things corporal appear rapidly returning to normal, except sadly I must not lift or do any housework for a few days. Distraught.

Good morning, 10.2°C expecting 13°C; brisk chilly breeze blowing; skies mostly clear, sun glinting bright gold off house-windows across the street.
Expecting the Man to put the anti-moss/mould/lichen Stuff on the driveway today so have shifted car from garage to streetside in case I need to go out while he's messing abaht.
Some sort of quarrying or other great noise going on nearby at the moment: my guess is, someone's having a concrete drive dug up and removed.
And with the morn, those angel faces smile...

Smoldering mulch fire at a recycling plant almost 330 miles as the crow flies (if he is IFR rated) bring smoke and the attendant odor all over the valley.
Numerous people on the NextDoor freaking out about something on fire in the neighborhood when the source was 20-40 miles away.

Like that US ex-coal mining town that has been on fire for the last God knows how many years and will keep burning far longer than we can guess...
