The reading stopped at: “an insistent vesicle pressure” (17.1198)

Catherine sends a painting and a comments:

Like children who are full of anticipation for Christmas, Fritz couldn’t  wait to tell us that we were getting to the funniest part of the book: the peeing passage. He really was enthralled and told us all kinds of stories, such as how men stand and pee, how they look at each other while doing so, and how wonderful the many s‘s in the text make the sound audible. We laughed superbly and the women were more than impressed with all those different peeing-descriptions.

For this topic I painted a very romantic peeing-scene: in Bloom's garden, under the dark sky, with stars and the moon.
Looking at the moon, which is only a scythe, Bloom maybe thinks of his relationship with Molly: her splendour when visible, her attraction when invisible.
