Because it had been a much cooler night....and quieter too with the windows closed.....we both slept really well.
It was very grey and wet when we woke up.
Blast! I had left my splashproof Kagool at home.
The clouds looked heavy with the threat of more rain.
Ma was undeterred, she felt sure that the weather would brighten up, and that by the time we had eaten breakfast it would be fine.

Now you should ALWAYS listen to your Ma because in most cases she really does know best.
We had breakfast...a very leisurely one at that......and then back upstairs to get suited and booted for the shopping trip......and what do you know?
It had fined up. The sun wasn't exactly shining, but it was dry and still...

Ty's eyes are improving

went to his first appointment at accyvic today, if you remember i went mad at Blackburn and told them they werent going near his eyes again!
So they transferred him to accyvic..

Sooo..... he still has double vision and is getting head aches because of this ( resulting in him taking far too many painkillers for my liking, we dont do medicines lol) and the sun hasnt helped, he still has squints in both eyes, one eye turns in and one eye turns out.. (origianally both turned out) BUT...........(insert drum roll)................his vision has returned to the level it was before the op
yes i do realise it was supposed to improve after the op but no change is better than vision...

emamum

I went back upstairs to the room.
Ma was sat on the bed with her nose in a Mag, but I could tell from her cheeks that she was grinning.
I told her that she was a very naughty old girl and that she should expect to be punished.......and the punishment I had in mind was to load her into the chair and then
push her down the steps of the hotel.
She laughed and said she was going to report me to the 'cruelty' man.

I looked out our window to see clouds...black ones at that, blowing in from the sea......and the wind was starting to blow the curtains about a bit.......a little while later there were great drops of rain plopping onto the window and it had become noticeably cooler in a very short space of time....
