He has to take prescribed ones every day. They are a bit like fibre drinks and come in sachets. If he only takes one it keeps his old bowels moving. However for people with "impacted stools" (according to the packet) you can take up to eight a day. Grandad suspects he has a problem if he hasn't been for a while, and starts taking them willy-nilly. Silly old fool - he eats like a bird, except less worms - and can't expect to poo like a 60 year old who eats steak & eggs!

Anyway - he's fine now and it's all sorted.

Good news of the moment?
Mum & Dad get trick or treaters!
Yes!

Why is this so great?
Because I can wear my halloween costume and wig from last year, and make myself up. I'm not intending to scare them. I just really wanted to dress up, but the only places I could viably go were pubs or bars - too much money, too much temptation and not much fun alone.
Now I get to stay in the comfort of the 'rents home, in full make-up, nice and safe.

I even have all the right cosmetics (from last year) so no cash to splash.
I think I might try a skull face. Just for fun. Gotta see how complicated it is first. My pumpkin attempt reminded me I do not have a delicate touch. In some things.

Pictures will follow.
