Mentally Disturbed
When nine years old, our youngest daughter wrote a letter to her grandparents thanking them for a birthday present. It included a poem.
MENTALLY DISTURBED
I'm understandably crasily wild
I just don't know what's making me act as a child
I'm going really really wierd
Its like winning a race and never being cheared
There's something funny that's making me change
Its something inside;that's where it feels strange!

Three Years and 14000Kms
Bought a new bike three years ago and I have just done a bit more than 14000 Km. Ten years ago that would have been 24000Km.
Slowing down!
Virtually all the shopping is done by bike. The other main use is social riding, and then the coffee.
Wonder how much longer I can keep going, but I did note on the news tonight that the ACT government has upped the allowed power for electric bikes to 300 watts (from 200). Tempting :-)

Christmas Eye
Thursday, 29 November at about 11:00pm, woke up with an excruciating pain in the right eye.
Could not see out of the eye, it was though a sheet of frosted, and partly opaque glass was in front of the eye.
I presented to the hospital emergency at 8:30 am 30 Nov and was given an appointment at the eye clinic at 2:00pm.
The wound was dressed with a "bandage", I was given Chlorsig antibiotic eyedrops, eight times a day, every two hours and dilating drop, something like Cyclopentolate, one drop, three times a day.
Went home and googled Christmas eye Nasty!
Returned to the eye clinic 4 Dec, the pain had gone but the vision was still blurry or frosted up. Was prescribed more Chlorsig and a steorid, FML (flurometholone) and given a appointment to return 18 Dec
On 8 Dec, I could see with minor distortion, guess I am going to need the full two weeks of drops.
Would not wish Christmas eye (apparently also known as harvest eye) on my worst enemy.
Friday, 28 December. From my visit on the 18th, I was to continue with the drops, twice a day for a week, then once a day for another week. That finishes in three days time.
I expect there will still be a period of "normalization" but things aren't too bad.
