Hi Gilly---------ripper day here in the Latrobe Valley.

Shame i had to work.

Hope it goes ok for you tomorow Jean.

~~~~~~~~waves to All the gerries---hope you can remember who you are!....Richo.

I would like to share the song my brother wrote to sing at my mothers funeral.

SHE'S THAT YOUNG GIRL AGAIN.

She sits in her  faded pinafore, starting out thru faraway eyes,

I'm afraid she won't, remember who I am, or what I,ve come here for?

But when the music comes on she comes to life.  The old songs from the war years

Like Vera Lynne "We'll meet again" , "White Cliffs of Dover" and the like.

It's not that she  dislikes the new things, but the old things rekindle a spark

Nostalgia creeps in, and in her daydream, she's that young girl again

In her daydream, she,s that young girl again.

She dreams of her long departed lover, She might call him a silly old coot.

But the pictures by the door say much more,  The Airman in a snappy suit.

For he gave her sons and daughters, grandkids and great grand kids too.

She might see them , at christmas or birthay, or they'll just pop in.

But she understands what;s happened.  They have their own lives to lead.

So she sits there, dozing in her chair, waiting for the tea trolley to come around.

You wonder what she is thinking, dreaming the hours away.

Nostalgia creeps in, and in her daydream, she's that young girl again.

I her daydream, she's that young girl again

I her daydream, she's that young girl again.

Hi all. Back in eBay land. Richo thanks for kind thoughts, appreciated them. I rather suspect that I expected too much too soon from cataract op. I think that I expected to take off dressing and have perfect vision. Goes to prove that age doesn't make you smart.

See what I mean, can't even get the smileys in right possy.

Evening gerries-------breathe in -breathe out.

Hi Jean--was there any improvement -or will

there be improvement in time?......................Richo.

I think that it is in the lap of the gods. They want to do the other one but I think I will leave it for a bit. Lovely song Grandmoon

morning all.. love the smell of new mown grass.   lawn mowed at last.

I am starting to get very concerned re last weeks cataract op. My vision is now slightly worse than before the op and shows no sign of improving.  I think that it was the worst decision I have made.   

get it checked Jean?  doesnt sound right.

get it checked Jean?  doesnt sound right.

I went back to Doctor on Tuesday and he said there was swelling and clouding, but it is getting worse. I am due back on Tuesday. In the meantime I am not having the other one done until this one is sorted. It takes a lot to spook me, but this is doing it.
