Yes, 34 years ago today is when I had my eye operation.  It is amazing how quickly those years have gone ... and how well my eye continues to do.  Overall I am slowly losing the sight in that eye, but considering this time 34 years ago I was actually blind in the eye, I am positive about how things are going.  A torn/detached retina, was the problem.  What I found the most worrying at the time was that there was no reason for the problem ... and the consultant said it was because I am so short-sighted ... fair enough, but as both eyes are the same prescription I then spent time worrying that the other eye would "go" as well.

So, 34 years on, and the left eye stays undamaged ... so positives all round.

Over the weekend I got some of the "cold" symptoms that are going round ... most people I spoke to last week were snuffling, so it wasn't a suprise.  I have taken a few paracetamol, and so far at least I haven't got worse.

I had a good clinic this morning ... and tomorrow I am working on the main reception/welcome desk, so that will keep me out of mischief ... before I post this -



19. In what forms of housing have you resided?

When born a semi-detached house, after that Mum & Dad had detached houses, and then a detached bungalow. Both the houses I have owned are mid-terrace. All are brick built and all but Mum & Dad's in Bude were tiled roof (their's was slate)

20. When were you last onstage, literally or figuratively?

Literally - when I was a member of Bude Orchestra I used to have to do the "thank you" speach at the end ... so was the one who literally had the last word.



Right, I want to make a couple of icons, and sort a few more photos from my London trip.

Will catch up soon x

Hurrah for such an important anniversary!

Doesn't time seem to get away from you? Once in awhile, I realize how long it's been since whatever happened and it shakes me up. When did I finally get my mom's age. How did that happen?

Wishing you a Happy Christmas filled with only sweet wonderful moments.🎄🤗😘

Oh right, I know when you're short-sighted you have to check your eyes because of the retina but I wasn't aware that that means going blind.

Hopefully it will stay good longer.
