Eye Eye!

Up with the larks this morning, even before the cats! the reason was that I had an appointment at the eye clinic in Walton Hospital. Since my appointment was for 9.10 we had to leave the house about eight o'clock in case the traffic was a problem. We have been held up in some awful queues before now, but funnily enough today was really quiet, you would have thought it was half term. We got to the hospital by twenty to nine, and VT said shall we wait a bit, I said it's first come first served in there so we went in. The reception wasn't even open, but there were people sitting waiting. Got my name called within a few minutes, and went for the eye test, then sat down again, then had my name called again to have the dreaded drops put in. They used to do this at the same time, why they have changed this..no idea. Sat outside again for a while then the Dr called my name. She had a good look in both of my eyes,said they were ok this time nad go back in about four to six months. There was a notice outside the hospital which said that the department will be moving in August, I said to the Dr will you have moved by then, she said about October, so we shall have to see where the next appointment will be by then.
We went from there over the road to Sainsbury's, and did the weekend shop. Had a nice reviving cup of coffee first though! Poor VT had to guide me round the store, and tell me what all the prices were because the drops make your pupils dilate, and the glare is terrible. This lasts until about lunchtime and is a real nuisance. Some good offers today actually, my Dairylea cheese spread were two for a pound instead of £1.11 each, and the Quorn range was three for three pounds, so got a few of those. Frozen meatfree range were two for £3 so got some meatballs, and some garlic kievs. Freezer is now well stocked up. Bonus was that the bill came to over £50 so we got a coupon for 5p off a litre, this saved £1.50 on the petrol bill.
We were home by 11.30, so unpacked, did all the scanning, then had another reviving cup of coffee.
We will sleep well tonight!
Tonight we are having:
fishless fingers,
Mushy peas for VT and green beans for moi,
Chips 200grms.
Tartare sauce.
