Cheers Jeff, but I'm fine.  They shrunk it back to its normal size with a six day drip, but it is likely to reoccur within 18 months, that's why they're taking it out. I'm in no pain at all at the mo.

Beautiful picture Mika, feel like I've seen it before somewhere ;-)

😁 It's a museum (closed for renovation) nearby. Going past it makes a nice 5 km / 1 hour walk through some semi-forests and the seaside that really clears your head, so I visit there quite often.

This is where I slept in my car that night.  When I woke up, hundreds of tourists were all around my car. I just brushed my teeth, washed my face,ate my Sugar Puffs and boiled up the kettle for a coffee.
No-one batted an eyelid!

Where in Finland are you, Mika?

Espoo (in the same tiny suburb as our minister of foreign affairs... )

Well, I'm glad to hear they got it under control so you're not in agony until the surgery. Probably an easier surgery if it's not infected and inflamed when they yank it.

Things like this are one of the reasons that I like living in the present. One friend was discussing how he'd like to live in the past, and asked me if I wanted to live in Ancient Rome since I am a big Roman history buff. No, I said, two words...medicine and dentistry. If I was living in Roman times I'd have been dead for 30 years or so, the only reason I'm alive is modern medicine.

Neat picture...and now for some late breaking sports scores...Lions 6, Christians 0...back to you Gaius Germanicus.
