EYE EYE

 

This morning I'm off to get my eyes tested for any damage due to diabetes.

I've had it done 2-3 times in the past, and I know I won't be able to drive after the test, so Lacy is coming with me.

Good old Lacy to the rescue.  IF my eyes are not too blurry, we plan on going for a lake walk afterwards.

If they are too blurry, we will just go home again.

The rest of the day is up in the air too.  I might not be able to sew either.  That would be a bummer.

But ... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I am going to the supermarket this afternoon.  As some have pointed out, I can buy hot dogs, fish and chips and so on from the supermarket, and cook them at home.

So NOT takeaways!  Tonight, I'm going to make us a home made hamburger, using chicken schnitzel and home made wedges.   I bet they come out super yummy.

And that's me for now... I'm looking forward to a good day.

1 pm: What a good morning!

First up, the eye examination went well.  We got there early, and were seen literally straight away.  We were in and out in about 25 minutes.

The drops did sting, but not for very long.

ABOVE:  My eyes were, and still are very light sensitive.  Huge, freaky irises!

They should return to normal in another few hours.

After the eye exam, Lacy drove us to the lake, where we had a very good walk.  I even jogged a few times!  Yep, and there was no rabid dog chasing me!

ABOVE: There's so many beautiful views around our lake.

ABOVE:  There's Lacy, chasing off a couple of cranky geese.  The Gander tried to have a go at me!  I wasn't into that, and ducked behind Lacy.  She got a bit stroppy with him, and in the end chased them back into the lake.

I'm sure he was just looking out for his girlfriend.  😉😊

ABOVE:  Mother duck only has 10 babies now.  The mortality rate for ducklings is quite high, depending on weather/food/predation conditions.

Living in 'town' means there's plenty of cats to eat them sadly.

ABOVE:  'Aunty Goose' hanging around the ducks.

Love that tree too, it's very interesting.

ABOVE:  Today's walk is now my 2nd best time, only 10 seconds slower than my best time!

I'm happy with that.

Once our walk was over, Lacy drove me to the supermarket, where I grabbed a few bits 'n' bobs, then we came home.

Lacy has now gone home, and I'm going to take some time out before I decide if I want to sew this afternoon, or not.

10 out of 10 to Spotlight!  I ordered more of the green fabric for my runners a couple of nights ago, and it's already arrived!  Spot on, and a very reasonable postage price too.  I'm very happy with that.

It's been an incredibly quite afternoon I must say.  No one around?  Everyone looking forward to a good weekend I hope.  I know I am.

My eyes have gone back to normal now .... it took 6 hours.  They feel tired and heavy, but otherwise OK.

ABOVE:  Stew's dinner.  I think he's a happy man.

I had mine at lunchtime.

The burgers are small compared to a shop bought one, I deliberately bought small buns.

I made myself two... but my eyes were bigger than my belly and I had to throw one down the gurgler.  😖😕

Stew's managed to eat both of his.  

And that's a wrap on today.  We shall now settle down for a lovely quiet evening.

DAY 16 DONE AND DUSTED... slowly getting there!
