phoenix it’s not sad to be predictable if the thing your predictable for is bringing some fun, humour and laughter into others lives. I think that’s a lovely trait ?

Now, steady, this is not that sort of post! Although it might be a tad TMI for delicate GN members (Don your pearls ready for clutching now)
The back story, in the shower the other day, I became aware of some change in my (ahem) derriere , in that there was something there that wasn't there before 
At first I thought it might be a stray bit of toilet paper 
, but no.
It felt like it could be a skin tag, but of course I couldn't see it. So, had to ask Mr P to take a look.
Once he had recovered from his swoon and put on his glasses, he had a look. (He's so brave)
He said it looked a bit red (I knew I had that shower too hot) so declined dabbing some of that skin tag removal stuff on it.
Apparently it's still looking a bit "angry" so some germolene has been applied. Himself then wondered if perhaps it was a mole? (Never had one there before, and as far as I know, they don't appear overnight, unless they are the sort that wreak havoc with your lawn. There is a local pest control chap that deals with those, but I don't feel inclined to bare my buttocks to him.)
So, phoned the surgery, who are doing telephone consultations. (Wouldn't usually bother with something so minor, but realise that skin changes like this should be checks out)
Telephone consultation booked for sometime tomorrow.
But they want me to email a photo of it! 
With the best will in the world and a selfie stick (which I don't own) there is no way I can photograph at that angle!
So, I pulled my pants down.........
Morning all!
Himself had another look when I came out of the shower and uttered just one word.
"Weird"
Not quite sure how to take that...........
Yes Bluesky, i remember the shock of that too,back in the day when i was having my first child (she was 40 on easter sunday!) And they used to still give you enemas and shaves when you went in to give birth! And the routine of exposing your stitches on your 'tail-end' as the midwives called it...and i was a young wife& mum at 17...such a shock to the system
Thank you so much for making me laugh phoenix (sorry I know it's unkind!) but things are rather tense here - too many weeks in lockdown no doubt and I was feeling a bit sorry for myself.
I’m afraid your hubby will have to don his glasses again and take a photo while at the same time maintaining a steady hand! 
My son yesterday asked me seriously (when I'd suggested he cook for once-he's 21!) "But arent you the cook,cleaner,washer up?" And i reminded him we have a fridge magnet that says "oh,I'm sorry you must be confusing me with the maid we don't have!"....you need one of those fridge magnets ladies!
Yes,cheered me up no end! and yes,mr P does deserve it!

Sussexborn how would a patient's husband know it was you?
A photograph of your bum, bah that is nothing. Last time I was in hospital I was filmed throughout my operation so the surgeon could use it for training purposes.
I was shaved, primped and manicured before I left home just in case I was less than acceptable for the camera. Yes my film is out there on the web somewhere but I doubt if you will see my face
