As I was driving Hubby home from his procedure yesterday, he said the doctor told him ice cream would help the healing process. When I told him I didn't hear the doctor say that, he informed me that the last time he had his hearing aids adjusted, they added a setting where you can hear what the speaker MEANT to say, rather than what they said. o_O
Can't argue with that. :rolleyes:
We got coffee flavor, and he shared with me. :<3:
Can't go wrong with that. Ice cream is always good.

Well, just got back from the Oschner outpatient clinic. Spent all afternoon there with hubby, who was having scheduled outpatient surgery to remove a skin cancer that was next to his eye. The surgery was entirely successful, and the surgeon used special cosmetic surgery procedures to close the wound so that it'll just look like a normal crease and not a scar. :eek: But he's got 10 stitches you can see, plus more that are buried deeper. Hubby is napping now and I may do likewise!
Hubby is a very fair-skinned platinum blond who grew up in Texas: running around outside all the time. The sun exposure is catching up with him! This is about his 4th surgery.
But all's well that ends well, says I! :)
Hope hubby is feeling good today.
Send him my love and regards. :<3::)

Good morning, roommates!
Just checking in. It's my work week, unfortunately. Hope to be around a bit more next week, and then we're going south for Christmas. To Budapest and Vienna. :p
Wow!
Two of my favourite cities in the world. :<3::<3:
Bit chilly at this time of year, though.
Always watch the New Year's concert from Vienna.
Good afternoon, Lena! :)

Good morning all. It’s still 6C here.

I am glad to hear it has warmed up for you Jane. I am still taking thermals when we head up for Mum’s birthday this weekend though :D

Lena, I am not expecting Vienna & Budapest to be much warmer than Roskilde,but I am looking forwards to the postcards. I have never been to Hungary! I love Vienna, but it can be VERY cold there.

Fingers crossed for rain in Cape Town and successful post in Paisley too.

John, it would be ringing Royal Mail and putting in a complaint about missing post. You won’t get compensation probably, but if people complain they will start investigating... it happened here a few years ago and they caught a guy at the sorting office.
Good afternoon, Linda! :)
One of out local postmen in Somerset got arrested with thousands of undelivered Christmas cards and letters in his flat. He's been opening them all to take out the Christmas money people sent to children! :eek:

Haha. I expect it could be colder if anything, these countries being in the middle of the continent. But geographically, they're south, which is just a heart-warming thought. :D
Any tips regarding Vienna? It will be my first trip to both places.
Spend a lot of time in the coffee cafes, nothing like them in the whole world.
Visit the palaces and anywhere connected with classical music, but it won't be hard, the city is alive with music everywhere and all the time.

Sure I am always happy to share pics. But most of these have already been posted here, so apologies to those of you have already seen them.;) The pic of baby 1 had sand in the table, until JoesMum taught me otherwise. Baby2 is what Baby looks like now and is the most recent photo. Baby3 is more or less right in the beginning after I found Baby, however the grass did not do well in the table so had to replace it. And the closed chamber is what I finally figured out this weekend - how to close the table. But I have since realised that I the wall might get mold due to the humidty so have to figure something out which will solve that issue and or try and find a better solution that won't cost me the earth.
Beautiful! :):tort::<3:
