Having no ambition to end my days en croûte I do not pinch the gnurses’ gnats.

I just thought you had earned it for medicinal dispensing over the years
And I have seen gnurses cooing over you wee sparrer
Getting better looked after than patients you were in some hospitals I have frequented

Well who’s been looking at whose bird?
And which bird is flaunting coloured fevvers and varnished claws?

Well you know what birds are like…
This time of year round here the native birds are thinking of one thing only
I swear it’s to do with seeing daffodils in bud!
And snowdrops in full bloom

Quick guide to Bird: pretty much every phrase is one of “MY worm”, “she never”, “hello ladies”, and “come and 'ave a go if you fink you’re 'ard enough”.
I imagine it would be quite familiar from the ol’ peeler days…

That’s the second eye done. I’m so glad I don’t have three.

I assume all was well with the first eye or they wouldn’t have done the second yet, but to my shame I forgot to ask. Are things going all right? Are you seeing a difference?

Oh yes, a lot of differences, not least that for the first time in my life my right eye is not short sighted, I think the distance vision must be near perfect. Hence buying the reading glasses, I never needed them before. The colour vision thing has been interesting, comparing the cataract eye with the non-cataract eye over the last 9 days there was no difference at all in reds and greens but quite a remarkable difference in the strength of colour in blues and yellows.
Excellent, I’ll be back for the rest later.

I am very glad things are working well. The colour thing is literally remarkable: or at least, I remarked it, in an astonished and delighted voice, the day after my first eye was done.
I wonder whether the fact that it’s the blues and yellows that have been strengthened is related to those being the two commonest colour-blindness pair after red/green? And also whether you may find the reds and greens are strengthened now the other eye is done? I do know that one of my eyes sees things as more red, the other as more green, but I have no idea how that relates to anything else or whether it is common, and I know it’s been that way all my life rather than since the cataract surgery: I used to amuse myself when I was ill as a child by looking at the white sheets, covering one eye and then the other and seeing the difference between perceptions.

As opposed, of course, to the 1937 suspense novel by Ethel Lina White.

Been to optician
My cataract is impairing the small amount of vision I have so he is writing to the eye surgeon to see what can be done
And I have 2 pairs of spex to come
One for close up and one for distance
Trust me to find the most expensive ones in the place
A pink pair natch
