Eye Surgery

I had laser surgery on my right eye 3 days ago.  Amazing stuff.  No pain and bandages came off 24 hours after op.  I can now see better in that eye without my glasses...  but I need my glasses for my other eye.  And things are a bit blurry in close proximity.  All should be well within the week as my right eye adjusts to it's new lens.  Then in 4 weeks time...  I get my left eye done.  They are correcting what is called 'angular closure glaucoma'...  something you can get as you get older.

Anyway...  for the moment, all is well.

Back home in Australia

We are back in the Hunter Valley.  Only been back one week and today we are off to Canowindra to do some ballooning!!

Switzerland was wonderful.  We took many long Alpine walks.

We also spent a week in France on a boat with some N.Z. friends a week before we left Switzerland.  I am quite sure we will have another boat in France in the years to come.  It is just that we have some other travels to take care of before we settle down again.

On the way back from Switzerland, I visited with my 95 year old Mum!  Gosh she is fantastic.  Great humour, laughs alot, enjoys company, etc.  I can only home I live to her age with her faculties!

Peter, meanwhile, was visiting the World Hot-Air Balloon Championships, and then went on to visit with David Levin and other balloonists in Colorado.  He had a wonderful time.

I will try to keep my blog more 'up to date'.
