Look at me, look at me... how cool do I look and I can now seeeeeeee....

 I didn't realize just how much of my sight I had lost until yesterday when I had my left Cataract dealt with.

My Anesthetist took this photo of me while on the operating table, he then sent the photo to my phone!  How cool is he eh!


This is how I looked when I came home.

And...  this is how Cool I'm looking today!
I am finding every thing is so much brighter, more colourful, definition is incredible and I just love it!  Second eye soon, can't wait!

 These blocks are patterns from the 'Dear Jane' quilt, I was naughty and appliqued in plain bold colours instead of stitching soft 1940's fabrics.

The 'Mrs Hind' Story - for Nerys, Mrs Hind and Troy.

The Mrs Hind Story.
 Troy and Nerys.
Pennie and Mrs Hind sitting surrounded by some of the many parents we met at Turramurra North Public School.

Back in the Eighties, yes way back thenโ€ฆ all four of our children attended Turramurra North Primary School where for a few years I served as President of the P&C as well as many other voluntary jobs up there.  I really enjoyed it, those were fun days and I made many long time friends.

One of these friends was โ€˜Mrs Hindโ€™ she and I did a lot of P&C, Canteen, Fete and all sorts of things which meant we saw and spoke to each other a fair bit.

With four children in our local schools from preschools to high schools one does meet many parents when not at these schools.  One might run into one of them at the Local Shops where I also got to know many of the shop keepers or at the local Service Station and even as far a field as St Ives or Hornsby.  It was always lovely to have a bit of a chat and catch up with what our children were up to.

Now as Nerys grew older and a little more independent one of these people might mention that it was lovely to see her out and about with her friendsโ€ฆ this is where โ€˜Mrs Hindโ€™ comes into the story. 

It was quiet often after speaking to Mrs Hind on the phone that I would say something to Nerys such asโ€ฆ did you enjoy shopping at St Ives or similar.  Nerys would look shocked that I knew where she had been and quickly came to the conclusion that โ€˜Mrs Hindโ€™ had seen her and told me.   Now in honest truth I donโ€™t think it was ever Mrs Hind, it could have been one of so many friends but I never denied it then if I tried to Nerys didnโ€™t believe me.

So letโ€™s move forward more than 30 years.  Nerys and Timโ€™s boys both attend Ku-ring-gai High School, both boys play Cricket and Soccer for Hornsby Heights where Nerys co-Managers Charlieโ€™s team and Troy also an ex Ku-ring-gai student and one of the Coaches knows Mrs Hind and her daughter.  The Coaches and Managers are in regular touch these days via their mobile phones and emails.

Sooooโ€ฆ  a few times Nerys has been out and about shopping and so on and sheโ€™s seen Troyโ€™s daughter with her friends.  Nerys has then texted to Troy saying she just saw his daughter with her friends at the shops or cafe, then Troy has texted his daughter asking her if she is having fun with her friends at such and such place!   Then Nerys noticed the daughter read her text and look around wondering who had told her Dad where she was.

Does this mean that Nerys has become โ€˜Mrs Hindโ€™ herself!
