Cataract - what?

It's exactly a week since my cataract surgery.
It all started with a routine visit to the opticians - just like the last 50 odd years. I knew I needed new lenses in my glasses but wasn't prepared for being told that the optician couldn't correct the sight in my left eye!
There was a cataract which was obscuring the view of the back of my eye where there was possibly also 'cellophane maculopathy' otherwise known as 'wrinkly retina'.
I was referred to the ophthalmology department at Luton & Dunstable Hospital.
After having my appointment cancelled once, I was seen and underwent a whole array of tests and hi-tech scans before seeing the consultant. He sent me for yet another scan before being able to tell me that it was 'only' a cataract and he would put me on the waiting list. "How long is the waiting list" I asked. "About two weeks" he said. Blimey.

Milestones Museum Cafe

Take a look at this receipt:

Can of 'LARGER' £3.00

It wouldn't have been so bad, but it wasn't even lager, it was cider!



Milestones Museum - Lego!

There was a Lego event going on while we were there - "Quest For The Brick Kingdom".

There was a booklet of clues for children to solve to save the Brick Kingdom.

All around were these amazing huge models...

What about this for a display of vacuum cleaners?

And cameras...

Milestones Museum 2

There were recreated shops - and cats if you look carefully

And a pub behind the bus...

Milestones museum is "Hampshire's Living History Museum" and can be found in Basingstoke.

It's a re-creation of a Victorian town - we were there for almost 6 hours!

Quite a lot of talking exhibits

A lot of steam!
