I haven't got glaucoma after all.

... and 364 days later I still haven't.

Another year gone, and still no sign of glaucoma. The doctor I saw said that next year they might discharge me and leave the testing to an optician.

After the is-it-or-isn't-it glaucoma of 2013 (it is) and 2014 (it isn't despite what we said last year), back to normal "all clear and see you next year" yesterday.

It's a Janome, she didn't like the Bernina, but it does wonderous stuffs. She's taken up quilting.

I just bumped into my former colleague Ben. He's so lovely. He just had a baby so he isn't riding his bike as much as he used to, but it was great to have a two minute catch-up in the hospital corridor.

I've worked with so many fantastic people in my career. He's one of them. A great loss to the NHS when he sold his soul to Mammon for the sake of a better life for himself and his family.

I know this might sound rather gloaty but three OU assignments handed in in a fortnight and I managed 100% on all three. So pleased.

Naa gloat away because that is worth gloating about if you need to gloat about something worth gloating about.

We spent a whole day proofing the damned thing. The deadline was today so this wasn't a last minute thing. I am very glad I didn't go for an extension like many coursemates, I didn't want it to drag on.

Well done

Dad's getting transferred back from Hull. That will make visiting a lot easier. I'm very relieved that I won't have to see the A63 again, except in its V718 guise.

Glad your dad is closer, I continue to send best wishes to you all.

Mrs. B has just come back from the hair dressers and I remembered to notice.
Made all the right noises and everything.

Well done me.

Not consigned to the doghouse forever then Basil! Or sleeping on the sofa for a while.

Indeed. In fact, she is currently goddessing in the kitchen.

Just heard that a mate with severe kidney problems is going to have a transplant. His lovely sister is going to donate one of hers. What a New Year's gift for him and a gift of life from her.

Ruthie · « **Reply #6545 on:** 09 January, 2016, 03:17:38 pm »

The very very best to both of them

Nice Lady Jenny in Mr Sainsbury's House Of Toothy Comestibles has just told me my hair is "beautiful".

Possibly.

I haven't cycle trained for nearly four years, but today I got a text from a trainee asking me to teach her son as he needs some road skills. So I must have done something "right" since she remembered me
