At the Eye Pavilion today. Why on earth is it called a ‘Pavilion’, btw? Why not Eye Hospital? Anyway, off to see how bad the 2nd cataract is and when it’s to get done. And it’s bad. Really bad. So bad, in fact, that I’ve to get a general anaesthetic again – hoorah! Looks like it will be October though before the deed is done. In the meantime I shall continue to squint out of my good one which was done last year and not drive too far at night. And yes, the Altar copy of the Liturgy shall remain on the right-hand side for now.
Wanna see what my pupils looked like after they put the evil drops in? (Ignore the state of the eyebrows please. Remember I am half blind.)

Hmm, Fr Dougal I suspect you are closer than dear, dear Robin who I suspect has been on the happy juice himself.

I don’t need happy juice, dearest Ruthie. All I need to do is think of you! BTW, did you know that Edward Simonton had been visiting Edinburgh? Only for a weekend, alas, but he paid a state visit to St Michael & All Saints . . .

Well Robin dear, if that’s not you on the happy juice, mayhaps you should get your eyes tested too! Go with the madre to the Pavillion next time!

Oh bless you, Robin, you are a sweetie. Yes I did hear from Fr John Paul that His Eminence was in town. Sadly I missed the audience!
