I’m going to get my eyes tested again. About 5 years ago in the UK I was told that I had cataracts. Last night about midnight I got all worried about it and there was no way to get back to sleep without some serious distraction.
So I got up , turned on my laptop and have now reached almost half way through editing my book.
I’ve never done that before. It worked too. I felt much more relaxed and went to sleep afterwards. I don’t plan to make a habit of this.
So , next Tuesday I will get a phone call telling me what time to arrive at the opticians. ( I’d better check out the italian alphabet before then.)
Today has felt a bit odd. That would be sleep deprivation.
However , after having made my appointment I took a different route home to take photos.






I’m not in a rush to get started on my next commissions. I’m still working on filling some nice old frames.

I’ve hung all the recent small flower paintings up in their frames, but I need to wait for a few weeks until the paint has dried before I spray them with oil pastel fixative.
Now it’s wine time. Hoping for a better sleep tonight.
Cheers🍷🍷

I had the operation to correct cataracts, sooner than usual mainly because my eyesight was so very poor. Although the anticipation was nerve wracking it is an amazing thing to happen- after being minus 12 and wearing glasses with thick lenses!
Thank you that’s good to know
