Hello Clive

Christmas was quiet but nice
Our son is coming home in February for 3 weeks so we will have another Christmas dinner then

I’m pleased I had the cataract op initially I was worried but it was over in 15 minutes

The preparation took longer with 3 sets of eye drops to be administered

The result is amazing

I’m back on the waiting list to get my other eye done

Good luck with it Clive keep me posted as to how you get on

Regards to yourself and Mrs Molly
 

Appointment was fine, have to go back in 8 weeks.

And why not mark 18th Jan. The day I met my hubby - 13th December is also tinged by sadness as it was a few years after I met him I had to have my lovely dog euthanised due to his poor upbringing (from before I had him he was a stud dog at a puppy farm). We do laugh and joke about meeting - we were another Internet find - and how things quickly marched on. We got married in 2006 and joke we would be out of prison now if we had been found guilty. I think all anniversaries should be marked.

And yes countdown is on. I still have no idea of what to wear as I dont really look right in ladies clothes (and before all you men jump in and say 'neither do we' it's because I've always dressed in trousers/jeans so ladies clothes are a mystery to me. Might pay someone to make me a trouser suit and buy some boots. Not sure if that is acceptable for mother of the bride though
 

15 minutes not bad. Hubby has a 'hole' in his eye. Something called macular something or other which could be linked to the stroke he had 9 years ago. They are talking of operating but hubby reluctant as he thinks he will have to be conscious. He wants to be knocked out as he is mighty squeamish.

Any words of wisdom for him @Cumberland
 
So morning people

It's murky and grey here. Hubby in bed as dog been a bit naughty again.

Well it's Thursday and that means visitors. Old friends of the family this morning, daughter and granddaughters after school. Granddaughter number 1 is stopping overnight so school run tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'm meeting with a personal trainer to see if he can help me lose some of this weight. (put a stone on between late October and New Year ). All I can say is this personal trainer is either going to make or break me.

Enjoy your day, what are you all up to today?

Thanks wolfie11969,it’s an early stage cataract but because of my coaching for a living was advised to get it done early....so I am

Out at Hyde hall for lunch then bit of shopping an home for tea ps taken on last visit when sunny,today is cold an grey
 

Yes your Mrs looked lovely. If I have to look like a lady I'll be taking ideas from Molly to show me where to go.

However I've just found a nice, matronly, navy blue jumpsuit. Might wear that hee hee

how about red
 

If they’re recommending an operation then at that stage make it clear that he’s anxious and requests the op to be done and that he is ‘knocked out’ as you put it.

They cannot refuse

Thankyou Cumberland, I will pass on your thoughts and perhaps go with him the next appointment, if I can get a dog sitter
 
Morning friends

How we doing today? Its a bit warmer today with a little more light coming through the grey clouds.

Today I have plans to take the dog for a long walk in preparation for a greyhound meet and greet in our area on Sunday. It's the first major one he will have been to so just hoping the socialisation skills we are building on will work when presented by a few greyhounds.

Hubby out tonight in Coventry at a gig - some Alice Copper tribute so I'm home alone with a dog and some wine and some treats. Might be back later to drive you all mad in a drunken state

Have a good day
 
Good afternoon @wolfie11969 .....just a quiet day here today....trip to garden centre this morning to get bag of cat litter and hairdressers this afternoon for a quick trim (realised it was four months since last haircut) .....now for relaxing afternoon and evening with cauliflower cheese and sausages for dinner....
....hope you enjoy your ‘home alone’ evening.....feet up and relax.....

....hope weather is kind for your meet and greet greyhound outing on Sunday....wrap up warm.....does dog have a snazzy jacket to wear for his debut meeting....
