at the eye hospital

this afternoon I was telling my friend that the same thing had happened to me ten years ago.

then this evening, I started laughing out loud to myself on the bus, like a mad woman.  I realised that it was in fact twenty two years ago when I woke up in my sleeping bag in a tent in Poland and screamed... "I'm blind!" (a simple mosquito bite on the eyelid can be quite a shock when it means you can't open your eye).

it's amazing when you realise how much time flies, how could I mistake ten years for twenty two?  clearly I have been having a lot of fun...
