in the country of the blind........

the one-eyed z is king.

I've just taken out my right contact lens. Safely stowed in its holder, I dabbed at my left eye. There is nothing (nothing manufactured, that is) there. This means I've driven 250 miles today, entirely unaware that I had one short-sighted eye.

Fortunately, it's not the eye I look with.

Anyway, I'm home darlings. Did you miss me terribly? I missed you. Another Youth Orchestra musician has written to me, which has made me terribly excited, but I have not replied to anyone yet as I am tired after a lengthy stint on the A303 and the M25 - other roads, but they were the ones with the hold-ups, in traffic terms that is, I met no highwaymen (just as well, I was transporting Valuable China that doesn't belong to me but is destined for our next sale). I arrived back to find my dinner hotly waiting for me and hugs and kisses from Sage, son and dog. Actually, the first greeting was from the dog, but if I put her first you might have thought I'd got my priorities wrong.

I wonder what happened to that contact lens. I certainly thought it had gone in this morning. Fortunately I have a spare.

  1. Oh you're back...you're back....I DID miss you...and am glad you made it home in one piece, albeit it minus a contact lens.

    Just WHERE do you pick up all your treasures? Your place must be an Aladdin's Cave...

    Welcome home..glad the Druids didn't lure you away.

  2. Ooh, thank you, what a lovely welcome.

    Yes, well, Aladdin's cave was not exactly furnished was it, it just had stuff stacked randomly all over the place. That's not unlike this place if I don't watch out. My weakness is books, my husband's is everything else.
