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.
