    I missed all the fun by the look of it. I guess now Seano has been stereotyping our Italian forum members, it's only a matter of time before he finds a horse's head in his bed.

    Busyish day but knocking off early to get one bike back from the LBS and drop another off to get sorted before I sell it.

    It's all kicking off this side of the dýķê today: a car randomly exploded at the retail park in town earlier.
    Lucky there's a lockdown and nobody was out at the shops :confused:

    The problem with BBQing your sausages on a burning car, is that they get tainted with the smell of rubber, upholstery, petrol. oil and plastics.

    I think that must be a Scottish passtime, we get the servants to cook ours.

    Job interview. I'm only working on a fixed term contract where I am at the moment. I would like to go permanent, but there's a recruitment freeze on at the moment and the contract ends at the end of June, so I'm getting the feelers out.

    Plus if it does go permanent, I don't think the banding for the job would allow them to pay me what I think I'm worth / what I need to be paid to pay da bills.

    Tbh, if they paid me enough, I'd like to stay where I am because I'm actually really enjoying it.

    Time to open beer #2.

    Good outcome this pm at my favourite Eye Hospital. A benefit (?) of having a bad eye is that the ongoing scans and imaging provide load of info and the clinicians can see, unlike me, potential anomalies. Hence the side referral to other specialists to take a look.

    I have thicker than the norm corneas so internal pressure test can show false high readings. My optic nerves are slightly abnormal shaped, poss indicator of early onset glaucoma. And there's this little naevus in the good eye; been there forever or is it something developing? Hence the regular rechecks.

    Good news is zero change year on year so no conditions developing. Just the way it is. But reassuring nontheless.

    Eye Hospital was busy today, busiest I've seen in a year. Looks like more of the now vacced oldies and vulnerables are coming back into the treatments.

    Glad there's been no deterioration. I guess before each visit you must be a bit apprehensive?

    Made me laugh but the kind of thing a lot of people have no humour about.
    Good news 'loon, do they need to keep poking you in the eye or just checks?

    Glad your ok Orraloon, just waiting to embark on the eye hospital journey again for the OH. She has dodgy cornea's and optician has suggested it's time to revisit consultant again as things have progressed clinically in last 15 yrs or so. Other option is potentially go blind over time. That's a win for her as she reckons she wont be able to see me. Silly 🐄🐄

    We can only judge by a picture / good luck mrs oxo
