depressed lemur Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Finding i don't have the big C, just the little one. Many months of uncertainty and cameras in places you would not wish, the end result is a win. So, this makes me happy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to have a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. My only worry at the time was that if they did the colonoscopy first, would they remember to wash the camera before doing the endoscopy.

I had a couple of months back the binoculars thrust up my prize possession. Thought not as bad as led to believe. "scopy" thing cannot remember the full name. Says he the consultant kidneys, bladder & prostrate (80 year old one) all in good condition Discharged. Great until ! I have suffered since with a urinal infection. Bazaar go in all is well come out with problems. But yesterday infection gone. Yippee. Hope they sterilize the binoculars better next time 😉 Laurie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Well, I finished redecorating the bedroom in time for Christmas - stripped walls, plastered, lined, painted, laminate floor, fitted wardrobes, new lights and textured ceiling. SWMBO is happy. And, have finished the first of two MSc that I had to complete over Christmas. 3,500 words on Research methods. I have another 1,500 words to write on Information Governance by January the 7th. Then, I can start on my KUTA builds... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurieS Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) What makes you happy. Well I am still thinking about that. It could be that in my 81st year I can still think.. Walk. Chat. Be obstinate. Be Critical. Be naughty (oh yes). (known as naughty Grandad) (like it spurs me on). I like wine. My wife's cooking. Sleep no a waste of my time. Sex leave off. 10yr whisky now & then. A kiss from the fair sex only. Hug from my youngest son oh yes. Marmalade on my buttered toast. The twittering of a 100 sparrows in the trees outside our flat block. To look at photos of my 4 children & their off spring. To think they would not be here if I was not here. To wake up & to think yes I am still alive. Another day to enjoy with all those around me. A delight. Laurie Edited December 26, 2018 by LaurieS 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be 89 in January, but his philosophies are much along the same lines as your own. He's in reasonable good health, with the usual age related ailments, but he still gets about unaided, still drives (reasonably well), and believe it or not, is still carrying a bullet in his shoulder from the little skirmish in Korea in the 50's. I just hope that if I reach that age, I'll be in a similar state. For myself, something that made me happy on Tuesday was a telephone call. When I answered it, a little voice said "Happy Christmas Grandad". Made my day. Better than any present. John. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 A Christmas which was stress free! Dinner with my eldest son..good food,good chat and no cooking or washing up! Crowned off by a video chat with my family in Slovakia and the funny moment when my granddaughter turned to her mother (off camera) and said " It's Grandpa..the one who flew off to Scotland" 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Grandad bit. 3 of my 4 grandsons are now around 16-18 & it is very nice to be with them & chat. I also like the respect they all give to me, including the little one 11, that is very nice. They all can be a bit cheeky of course but then I was & likedit. Laurie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hope you don't mind me sharing another Granddaughter story. Over the last few hours she was gathering up bits and pieces and wouldn't tell her mum or dad what she was up to until she had finished then she announced that she was flying to Scotland to see Granny and Grandpa! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
