It was Amanda who did my eye injection on this occasion. I now go every 2 months to the hospital maybe for reasons of economy. I do appreciate feedback on how my eyes all going but I don't get that consultation come out just the treatment which I suppose is better than nothing. It was a rainy day when I set off for the hospital. I'm getting more and more intolerant of (or is it sympathetic...

I went to the chemist for a prescription. As it happens they are positioned next to my doctor's surgery.  Whilst waiting I noticed a woman complaining that her daughter was in extreme pain and had scars and blotches down her legs. She showed the photo to anyone within earshot who showed signs of interest. I heard her say that the daughter had been vaccinated a few days before. She had previously...

Slowly but surely I am adapting to life without many real social contacts. I guess we have to survive to live but whether it is a good thing is questionable. Am I over adapting?

Back home to deposit our...

So we decided on a whim to go to lunch at Hartley's Kitchen for some fish and chips. Now these are not your average product. They are not cooked in fat but I guess butter. The batter is very thin and edible. The mushy peas were home made with fresh onion; the horseradish sauce was also freshly made as were the chips.  Result - a meal that goes down well. No after effects. As the restaurant was...
