Absolutely hilarious (for me anyway) to see my buttocks, with nurses face peering over them appear in wide angle format on the screen :)
(Turned out my problem was lymphocytic colitis, and funnily enough all symptoms disappeared (thank God) directly after the procedure - I do wonder if the day on emetics prior to the examination had cleared whatever was causing the immune response :scratch:)
Yesterday I went for my annual MOT. Amongst other things they measured my weight and height. Much to my surprise, I seem to have shrunk in height by 2cm ( :scratch: ), though my BMI is perfect; as are all the other parameters.
Now that December is here and we have come out of lockdown, we celebrated by doing two things:
[1] Went to our local eatery/coffee shop for lunch,
[2] Put up the Christmas decorations.
Normally, when it come to putting up the tree and decorating it, I just 'go through the motions' with little enthusiasm. But this time we put up some decorations outside as well, and when finished my partner cheerfully claimed "Now Christmas is here". :)
So have I. Can't say I care much really, but I measured my height last week and I've shrunk over an inch. My brother and next door neighbour are in their eighties and are very noticeably shorter than they were thirty years ago.Quote:

Lol... We got our tree yesterday, after much deliberation, as Del's really fussy about it being *just* the right size and shape, so I was in the garden centre rummaging through different ones and holding them up for her inspection/approval, and being met with 'don't like that one', 'no, don't want that one' - but EVENTUALLY she picked one she liked!:doh:Quote:
