Eye eye
This morning the landlord's workers arrived to examine the damp kitchen ceiling and water running down the walls (it tripped the electric). They discovered a leak in the pipe behind the bath panel upstairs. They fixed that but electrician required for the rest, and the cause of the trip needs to dry out. Meanwhile the boiler is off so no heating save for the coal fire in the lounge.
I went to have a pre-op examination at the eye hospital in the afternoon. It now transpires that I have a cataract in both eyes. And because the left is the worst this will be first on Tuesday the 5th Feb to be operated upon, and the right 4-6 weeks later.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

You will be fine after the op.
My Mum had the op a few years ago and she found the results amazing.
My 85 year old neighbour said the same.
Presently, it's like a film set with the fog machine going full blast...
Good luck, John. Simple, quick, routine, and it'll feel like a bloomin miracle.
