Beans Beans BeanJune 24th was a lazy day, just waking up a little late in the day and spending time on a patio or two with Kimo and Remigijus. At some point I was to come over to Irena’s, where my father was visiting with his cousin.
Kimo, Remigijus and I met up on Vokeciu Gatve and went [...]

The morning of the 23rd I woke up not feeling well, I had actually not been feeling well for several days. My pee was pink (meaning blood) and I had abdominal pain. I was to go visit my father and then we were to go off to his cousin Milda’s sodas for a light lunch [...]

The flight from Gatwick to Riga was uneventful, but as the flight was with AirBaltic and not Rynair I was [...]

Yesterday doesn’t count as I had gotten off the plane and was quite knackered, but there was still some fun & some frustrations.
Landed at Gatwick, which seems to be under a huge renovation. Got through Customs fairly quickly, with the Brits believing I am no threat to British National Security. So that bit was easy. [...]

Just when I thought I’d be foley-free, it’s back again. I had the appointment with Herschorn on Friday and I did manage to successfully insert a catheter on my own into the stoma. So I thought, as did the Urology Fellow that everything would be okay. I was instructed that at the 4-hour mark I [...]

I have received permission, huzzah, to take my two weeks of holidays this year in June.
Where to go…hmm where to go. I know! Lithuania.

Met up with Mr Cantrell at St. Stephen’s Tavern near Westminster tube station at 10am and shortly thereafter Mr Squirrel sauntered in. We had a lovely breakfast at the tavern, with some time to spare to make it for a boat trip to Hampton Court.
The boat ride along the Thames was slow, but great fun [...]
