God knows what has happened to the British summer. It's been grey and wet since Tuesday. Boy am I bored. Certain other things are exacerbating the boredom but I have no wish to go out into a cold wet and grey world.
As for those things adding to the boredom, following a long dreaded operation on my eye, certain things are unavailable to me. I can blog on my tablet but my computer monitor is a blur. I cannot get my eyes tested for glasses (They fit standard distance lenses in cataract surgery, you still need glasses for reading etc.). till the other eye is done and then that has to heal. It is worth it. My eyesight was almost 0 but writing is, for the moment, a limited pleasure.
Reading can be achieved by holding a book at a minimum of 4 inches and a maximum of 6 inches away, and does not make for a comfortable position.
I also have to see my mother today, though my daughter is going with me. It is still not much fun as my mother has Alzheimer's and is not communicative or appreciative of attempts at conversation.
I may sound ungrateful about the eye operation but I am not. In the long run it will be great to see clearly again. I am sure it will be better weather soon. My mother may be more like her old self today. But all in all it is not shaping up as one of the most exciting days of my life.
