>Cytology. Yeah, FNA (fine needle aspirate) - that'll make your eyebrows levitate! Actually, when we unpacked upon arrival in London, Lisa discovered a fresh hypodermic needle in her bag. We're glad the security people didn't find it; that would have required a bit of explanation! Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. I had a great birthday in Oxford on Saturday. We arrived around 11:30 and had a cup of tea and a snack before returning the rental car. Then Lisa and I did an afternoon walking tour of Oxford's charity/fair-trade shops with Cotty's better half Alma after lunch at our favorite Oxford eating place (also her favorite Oxford eating place), the Nose Bag. We took the bus to Chez Cotty for dinner and birthday festivities. I tried both Fiddler's Elbow and Hobgoblin ale. Both excellent but I must agree with Jostein that Hobgoblin's the best. Cotty and ALma had a slightly anarchic cooking session which produced an outstanding meal. Great stuff indeed. We met their son Stefan, who's a great kid (despite the remote control electronic fart-noise generator he hid in our room) and the household pets (two cats and one hamster). Drank wine and had a splendid time of it. The next morning I took a few shots from Cotty's kitchen door.
