During the week I had my birthday present from Vernon :-) My birthday was in
December, but my present occurred this week.

I went to have my innards flushed. So if you are squeamish - do not read on
;-)

Got to the place - and was greeted by the lady who would do the, ahem...
flushing out, and her four cats.

One cat was a long-haired Waffles - but a bit older. She was *lovely*. Same
shape head as Waffles, but a greater number of eyes :-) The rest were two,
for want of a better word - short-haired persians - I forget the name of the
breed - a ginger male (who was a sweetie), his half-sister, a tortie girl -
with wonderful whiskers, and a very shy longer-haired one with a sort of
coffee-coloured fur. But all three came to meet me and all three had much
fuss made of them and I was even allowed by the shy one, to make a fuss of
her.

The felines weren't allowed into the the "chamber" ;-)

Anyhow - the lady who did the "irrigating" was great fun - she & I got along
well - sharing jokes. Good job, really, considering what she was doing ;-)

The whole procedure was not unpleasant in any way, and due to a
strategically placed mirror, I could wave to last night's meal as it
departed.

Apparently, due to the vast quantity of vegetables I consume, my innards are
extremely healthy - with none of the nasties being seen that are all to
often revealed when someone who has an unhealthy diet has their innards
done. It was good to have it confirmed that my innards are healthy, as I
really, really would not want the innards as the lady described she has seen
from people who do not eat well. Stuff that is six-months' old being flushed
out is not uncommon apparently - YUK!!!

Since then - I've eaten a load of pro-biotic yoghurt and upped the veggies,
and this, combined with of my innard cleansing - I've, err... "moved"
several times more - which is normal I'm told, as the insides have been
stimulated into action - and the difference in my belly is *noticeable* - it
has shrunk quite a bit. It is noticeably flatter than a couple of days ago!

Certainly not something to do every week, but I'd consider it again in a few
months. And it really does provide an incentive to eat healthily to keep the
insides "pristine" :-)
