2025 in Perth .. a tearful start …..

Not too very tearful , as I didn’t want to wash out the drops I’d carefully applied.

But, this morning my eyesight was not back to normal, but better.

I watched Monty Don’s gardening programme and marvelled at all the colours in the gardens.

Then I looked out of the window and saw hills I’d never seen before. That was amazing. I could see windows in houses which had just been house shaped blurs before.

Everything seemed so clear and bright.

I had a quick look at my recent paintings and sketch book to see if they looked the same. I think  they were better.

(It’d be awful if I went back to Pisticci and thought that all my paintings were weird colours.)

Today I mostly hung out in my granny apartment.

I ordered some Caran D’Ache   neocolour 11 crayons after wanting them for months. I watched 2 art videos showing how to use them which helped. Can start using them on Tuesday.

I had a phone call from the clinic asking how I was doing and then another from the optician to arrange an appointment  in 6 weeks

Mostly I’ve managed to get the drops in my eyes today.

And I can now drink wine.

Which is what I’m going to do now.

Cheers🍷🍷
