This is quite warm for us.

We don't often get into the 40s here, although happily the humidity is low, it was more uncomfortable the other day when we had 60% humidity yet only 37 degrees.
Observers may note the clock seems very awry, the unit is set to a plus 1 time zone so as it resets at 09:00 daily to fit in with the Australian standard for records.
This units posts continuously to the Weather Underground website, oddly right now they've hidden it but it's IINGHAM5

Smiling eye.

I got some good news today, albeit in a rather irksome manner since when I message somebody online I expect a reply to be online rather than via what to be is a very stress inducing phone call, it seems my strike action with the cardiac section of the hospital until my eyes are done has had the effect of raising my priority with the eye section. I now have an appointment on the 18th December, which will be an absolute pain but at least starts the ball rolling for the cataract operation I need rather badly.
I had to smile when she mentioned dilating the pupil so they could focus on the retina, just wasting their time they are, they won't get a focus now on my left eye, nor could they 8 months ago when my sight was better.
Anyway it'll be nice to be able to see details again, or if it fails and my eyes fall out I won't be much worse off.

Fred's home again.

Happily for all the hospital released him this morning and I whizzed him away in Daisy. He enjoys hospital stays as much as I do, can't get out quick enough.

I can't seem to stay away from hospitals now.

At least I'm only a visitor this time, father Fred took a tumble today and was ambulanced away to hospital. His legs haven't worked decently for a while and I suppose it came to a head today, he's strong and everything else is working pretty well but when you're 88 y/o weaknesses will bubble to the surface. Hopefully things will be set in motion now for some treatment to see if things can improve a bit.
