I've been to the hospital again, and won't know for a fortnight if I need an operation. We all agreed that watching was better at this stage. Thanks to the wonderful Dave, I didn't stumble around trying to get there and get home. Eye visits are much less tiring without the impossibility of the new bus system. Les stress, less glare, and it all took less than 3 hours.

Right now, I can't see much and keep cleaning my glasses to see if that'll help. Of course it doesn't, but at least my glasses are clean.

In other news, you can find myself and Katrin on the BBC website today, and in several other places, promoting the Beast. People really want us to promote the Beast, which is a nice feeling. I've never had a book with mass appeal before. everyone acts very differently to the way they do with my fiction. I don't get "You need to read my draft book" but I do get "I must buy this book." I don't even have to fully explain what it's about. I'll do a list to the various pieces when they're all up, for we had fun interviewing each other and explaining the shared work. They're not - in other words- normal puff pieces.

I'm typing pretty much by feel right now, for dilated pupils make things white on the left side and blood makes things dark on the right. My eyes symbolise a bipolar universe. In my particular bipolar universe, tea is suddenly essential. I'm eating chocolate coffee beans, BTW, which is very good for me. I'm certain of it.
