(no subject)

Today I woke up and was rather appalled to that my eye appeared to be bleeding internally, with a big patch of blood showing on the white. I went to get it looked at by an optician. First I tried Dolland & Aitchison, who said they couldn't do anything I've never been their customer. Then Boots, who said they were fully booked and that I should try a local hospital.

Finally, I found a place called 20/20 Optique in The Mall, as Wood Green calls its shopping centre. The optician shone lights in my eyes, made me read things and then said it was fine, just a broken blood vessel which will heal itself. This can happen because of hypertension. Maybe the stress of recent times brought it on.

I rewarded myself for being brave for the doctor with a bag of sweets and some new sunglasses, big aviator-style ones with black frames. They look quite poncy and were very cheap.

vieannelyle should be coming on Tuesday to visit me for a bit! I am pleased.
