For how long have you been living in Spain?

Well, it's a bit embarassing. I've been here 10 years, but I speak to people for around five minutes once a week on average. I live up a mountain and don't get out much.

But you could watch Spanish TV and read the paper and books in Spanish, right?

I found it quite easy to learn this way whatever the language, and the Spaniards really appreciate the effort. They will love you for it.

ETA: Best time to tackle it, as there is not much else one can do because of the Covid restrictions.

I don't have TV.
Here, most of the locals speak Catalan. My Catalan is surprisngly good given the practice I get. But, as soon as you have to deal with anything technical, medical, or official, they speak/write Spanish. You really need both languages.
If the kind of life I lead here involved more people contact I would make the effort to learn Spanish. As it is, all the creatures here including some of the wildlife have learnt English to accomadate me.

Are you a native German or....?

I'd have trouble learning any other language.

The procedure went fine. He's very comfortable right now. However the site was numbed and he's walking around asking why it feels so funny down there! He said "I'm a numbnuts!"

I shouldn't have laughed, but find it great that your husband retains his sense of humor.

Yes.

I'd have trouble learning any other language.

Why?

 

[aart]

It sure looks like poop.

Wonders if that's scabbing from 'urine scald'?
Will be curious to see how it changes as you treat.

Why?

I'm just not that smart?

 

[LaFleche]

I'm just not that smart?

I don't believe that at all. Rather not inclined while engaging otherwise?

She crapped three times during her spa treatment. I'd think she couldn't poop easily if she were impacted. It sure looks like poop. I just cannot get it off.

have you tried rubbing with smooth peanut butter? that will get tar off skin, so if the gunk is not part of her, pb might shift it.
