Sneezing and sniffling my head off Army, it's almost a way of blooming life now. And, am in major eye mode following visit to the Opticians yesterday, get this Trivia - Eye didn't know that! Our eyes are composed of more than two million parts, all working together to make you see. The giant squid has the largest eyeball on the face of the earth. At 18 inches across, it's about the size of a beach ball. An ant has two eyes, each of which is made up of many smaller eyes. This type of eye is called a compound eye. Worms don't have eyes. A chameleon's eyes can look in different directions - at the same time! Babies cry but don't produce tears until they're one to three months old. Each of our eyelashes has a "life span" of approximately five months. Of all the muscles in our body, the eye muscles are the most active. Dogs can't tell the difference between red and green. Overall, baseball causes the most eye injuries, followed by basketball, water sports and racquet sports.

No mid-week blues here, am on a self improvement plan and trying to be positive. This weather can get you down so badly, but there's a way to go yet I think. We have snowdrops out still, but the daffs are poking through from the earth. I think someone's playing a cruel trick on us and has hidden the sun - although that said, it was lovely in London last Saturday, hope it wasn't a flash in the pan

No news of any new home for Socks. I've been sneezing again this morning, nose and eyes running, so I haven't even put any lenses in yet! Glaucoma is scary, but so long as you keep being tested, you know the likelihood is there, and it can be treated with drops. I was fine for fitness when I used to do just 20-30 mins each weekday, but as soon as you stop you lose the habit completely and it all went downhill, especially over the 14-16 months I could hardly move because of my shoulder Just going to get some cereal and sort out the laundry Boogs.

That's good news then about MIL, so long as she heeds all the advice now I'm on my self improvement plan. First the haircut, then yesterday I went to the opticians for a very long overdue check up and contact lens consultation (both my prescriptions were way out of date and I haven't had lenses for ages) I found a new Optician and they were really good. I have both daily disposables and some fortnightly ones to try. Bad news is that my eyes are quite dry (and a greasy tear film apparently - could be the cat allergy contributing to that, plus I have to change my eye makeup remover) and also at the higher end of the pressure test (a bit over actually, which is worrying as my mother has glaucoma) Good news is that my prescription was -2.75 and is now only -2.25, which isn't too bad. They had some nice frames in there for new glasses too, although I found a place on line that does glasses so much cheaper. I'm out all day Saturday too by the way, getting hair highlighted and then going shopping, AND Sunday - going to Wembley After all that I need to clear out my wardrobe and then start trying to implement my new year resolution to get a bit fitter
