Bubble no more

On Wednesday evening I noticed something missing in my life. The gas bubble in my left eye has gone! Earlier in the day it had been bouncing around cheerfully at the edge of my vision, very tiny by then, but by the evening it had disappeared without so much as a farewell. My vision in that eye is still like a steamed up mirror, but I can ask the consultant about that on Tuesday. 

And this morning I returned to work after five weeks; the longest ever absence of my working life which now spans thirty-five years including my student job which was three months every summer from when I was seventeen. It was strange to go back - I felt nervous and a wee bit excited. I got such a nice welcome back from everyone and was soon so busy that I almost felt that I hadn't been away! I still need to get up to speed though, I was exhausted by the end of the day! Jennifer marched me out to my car to make sure that I didn't stay too late, which was very sweet of her. 

In the evening I went to see The Slab Boys with Catherine at the Citz. I haven't seen it before and thought it was excellent, the dialogue was very witty and it was good fun.
