Jim Webster, (In On a Chance! )
Another great blog post as usual Jim.Good thing we're friends on Facebook or I'd never see them!

Well here's another one thenhttp://jandbvwebster.wordpress.com/20...
The automatic link from blog to author page does work, but there's nothing to tell people that there is a new blog page up because you can hardly expect people to keep checking our author pages, or they'd not have time to read the books
Good thing you've got this here author thread, eh Jim?
Oh and you'll find we've both linked to the same blog post.I knew two in one day was too good to be true. :(
That's where technology gets you, isn't it..

My friends and I are just popping in for a light meal.
For someone whose books have an awful lot of food in them, I confess that my culinary skills are limited
That's OK Jim, just feed them on light. A few differently coloured light bulbs should do it
Mmmmmmmmushroomsmmmmmmmmmm
A new film to be released shortly.A Field in England.
Brief plot as outlined on Radio 2 today.
An eclectic group of people escape through a hedge to escape a battle in the English Civil War. There they meet an alchemist, who feeds them mushrooms and it all gets a bit bizarre.

Actually an alchemist wouldn't do mushrooms, they were 'scientists', mushrooms is 'witch' territory :-)
Things are a bit strange, I've just had my first cataract operation, on right eye. So my glasses don't work properly, and not wearing them doesn't work properly, and it'll take a couple of days for various eye drops to wear off and I can focus properly etc.
Oh Jim.How uncomfortable!
Eyes heal really quickly though. Dave's dad said he was fine the next day. Lets hope you are too.
*hug*
Thanks.I think I'll have an early night, I had to be there for 8am and because by definition you cannot take a car, I walked so left home about 6am to be in good time
Just to add that I'm under strict instructions to stay inside and take things easy, no dirt, no dustThat is going to be tough especially if the weather gets nice
Should have gotten some spoken word books in, easy on the eyes :~)
Just take care of yourself for as long as necessary, Jim.It's best for you in the long run.
I know, but I do tend to be an outside person :-(
Well yeah. That's where your tractor is.Better a few days now than a month or longer later though.
I'm sure your ladies are telling you exactly the same.
Wow Jim, you kept that quiet.Hope it's gone really well for you.
Him, my dad had it done a couple of years back. It doesn't take long to get back to normal. Hope it went ok, I'll lay bets you'll feel a lot more chipper tomorrow.Cheers

At my age they're all rather pretty :-)
Hi allMy right eye seems to be focusing a bit better, there said it could be a while before everything wore off. Then I'm putting drops in it four times a day which is tricky. I have to lie down on the bed to do it, I cannot manage it sitting down.
The surgeon pointed out I have quite deep sunk eyes, he said it was like working at the bottom of a well :-)
To be fair, my treated eye is already massively better than the untreated one.
And I've catching up with Cadael :-)
Oh Jim that's good news.Will you be having the other done at some point?

Everything is being done on the assumption that I will do. This depends on how fast the first eye sorts itself out. Normally they say six weeks but the surgeon said it might be four, I see him next Thursday.
Actually today I went to the doctors, thought I'd get a sick note. Waste of time, she did me one but it's useless because the rules have changed and the self employed don't get sick pay (Last time I claimed was in 1982 when I had my appendix out so I'm not exactly up to the current situation.)
But I did something I've never done in my life. I walked wearing a pair of sunglasses.(as well as the more usual garments expected of one) I've always had glasses that were too thick for clip-ons (and I always have glass lenses not plastic because welding slag doesn't melt them. This seems to make then thicker)
My right eye isn't fully settled but without glasses it's not a lot worse than my left eye, with glasses.
But it finds things a lot brighter than the left eye :-)
It's just wrong that you can't claim sick pay!!
I've got to fill in a heap of forms giving family income, savings, details of other benefits etc etc, and frankly, for two weeks sick pay!The joys of being self employed
edited to add that things have actually improved, when I first started work the government hadn't bothered including the self-employed in the EEC joint medical agreements. So a cousin of mine wasn't allowed on a school trip because if she fell ill, she wouldn't be covered because both her parents were self employed.

The irony is that managed to avoid the whole 'shorts' jokes by writing 70K novels, only to drop myself in it
Just packed 'Learning a Hard Trade' off to be published
Sounds like you sent it off to boarding school!

Well we hope it is all polished and shiny. But looking at the title, it might have lots of dirt under its nails and a grimy collar.
It's all about how to sell fabric to young ladies whilst not wearing your shirt
