We'll see how it goes. I'm not expecting to get rid of glasses altogether (I'm too old for that) but if they can correct my eyesight so I'd only need simple reading glasses I'd be very happy.

Had a nice big bowlful of homegrown blueberries, picked fresh from my bushes. Real big juicy buggers, up to a half inch across. Come to think of it, I might go and pick some more, I'm hungry again after that roast chicken.

Better than anything I've ever had from the supermarket, sure one has to pick out a few stems here and there, and remove the odd bit of wildlife, but they are much bigger, far sweeter and juicier than commercial ones.

Time for some more, and I'm going to grab some lemon balm to brew up tea from, take the taste of poppy pod tea out of my mouth...that stuff is fucking brutal, drank my jug full and oh jesus, the STENCH of that stuff makes me dread brewing it.

My son passed his deep water swim test. Given that he used to be terrified of water a few years ago, this is huge.

Well done him :)

I prefer deep water if I am going to get wet. Although I prefer to be under it, not had the chance to go scuba diving in ages though, other than in an abandoned quarry. And in the middle of winter in the UK, jesus H, do big sodding pits full of water ever get cold. Would much rather have got to do my training where I did my first diving, off the coast of turkey. As odd as it sounds, actually, getting an octopus stuck on my face was one of the most interesting experiences I have ever had :D

Such cute 'lil buggers they are.

Mmm....just started a pot of balm tea brewing, and the smell is heavenly. The smell of opium makes me gag just thinking about it, but even while just picking the balm, everything else was just overpowered. My kitchen smells of nothing but lemon/citrus fresh now, even with a pan full of ground up pods that have been brewed up, which I daresay, takes some doing. One of nature's own anticonvulsants too, which in my case is a good thing-I REALLY do not fancy another seizure at all, especially going face-first down the stairs.

Balm contains compounds which act as seemingly fairly potent inhibitors of GABA-transaminase, the enzyme that breaks down the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS, gamma-aminobutyric acid/GABA, along with modulating nicotinic acetylcholine receptors giving it memory-enhancing properties too.

Delicious, AND a nootropic/anticonvulsant. Beats pills thats for sure, all it needs is a little honey to sweeten and its perfect.

Even though my phone was not under warranty any longer ATT is sending me a free replacement due to the run around customer service has been giving us including them dropping the call about five times and giving us the wrong information several times over the last two days
