Cisk Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Getting fed up of doom n gloom of Toffeeness but also fed up of International break, so..... For fun, what is everyone up to right now? This could turn out to be a laugh - it could be messy - it could morally wrong - it could be scary. Hopefully a bit of fun n a laugh!!

MikeO Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Sat on a pavement table in Madrid in t-shirt having just eaten the biggest tuna sandwich ever made with my second pint of Mahou, never heard of it before but it's slipping down nicely. I may be here some time. Sibdane and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't reach hotel until a couple of hours back after evening flight so needed a snack, was only €4 so wasn't expecting a whole tuna.

johnh Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Went to the Doc's yesterday as I have been having more 'heart episodes' recently. Doc is organising a visit to the Cardiologist. Went to bed last night and had another episode! It wipes me out for a couple of days so I am just sat here on my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent a day undergoing all sorts of tests. Didn't really get anything out of it at the end of the day. I asked the Consultant about a pacemaker but he recommended against it. He said that half his patients who have them fitted ask for them to be taken out. Something to do with the 'jolt' when they kick-in, wakes you up sharpish in the middle of the night!

Thing with m-i-l is she (in her own words) has "had enough" and is quite happy to die. She won't let anyone go with her to appointments so we don't really know what she's being told. She's not at all afraid of death and tells me (when wife not around) that she'd really like it because her quality of life is pretty miserable, she lives in a lot of pain already after a botched surgery on her back after a horse riding fall decades ago as it is. I can understand her feelings though she's amazing and I'll miss her a lot when she goes. That aside just having lunch on a square in Madrid. Cultural observation, place is packed but I'm the only person as far as I can see drinking a "large" beer, everyone else has a half, but I think I'm the only one not smoking.

Mike, enjoy and sunshine and the city. Quite a nice day here today but unfortunately can't do what I had planned. Might be able to join you in a pint though.
