Empty nest survival guide number 1

Well we survived the first month on our own!   We have remembered to eat proper meals at proper times - which is quite a shock to everyone in the family to be honest! We have been out in public - on our own.....to a pub no less! We have stayed up late - even on a school night! And slept in at the weekends! Now to anyone who has spent time with us over the last 20 years you'll know that late nights & mornings and a pub is a huge deal! This whole empty nest stuff isn't bad at all!

Can you see to read this?

How lucky we are to be able to read these words! How lucky that if we had a problem with our sight that our wonderful (if struggling) NHS will be there to help us out. How lucky that we are never far from medical assistance or surgery if we need it. Can you imagine how many people there are in the world who aren't that lucky. When badger was struggling with his vision and diagnosed with a cataract at just 37 he was offered surgery and within 2 months his vision was back to normal.
