Easter getaway

The eye continues to improve slowly and the big news from Tuesday's visit to the hospital is that the bugs are dead! Yes indeed, the little blighters hung on for three weeks but the eye is now sterile. As a result, the antibiotic dosage has been reduced and I don't need to get up in the night anymore so last night was my first sleep through since all this began. It's now just a question of the eye physically healing.

Three weeks

The Easter weekend was spent up in the Blue Mountains at the 'in-laws' and apart from a bedroom Huntsman spider incident, the change of scenery was as refreshing as ever. Those spiders are unnerving at the best of times but when you can't quite see where they're running, it's a truly terrifying experience! There are a few possums up there at the minute as well and we managed to spotlight this one in the garden...
