Mmm. I’v been getting a bit dizzy on and off for a while now. I think the first time might have been the boat ride a couple of weeks ago. That was sea-sickness. Yes, I’m a wimp, we were just off the coast around Flamborough Head, and the weather was good. Anyway, I reported that I was nauseous after the trip to Martin and Fiona’s. Actually I had another symptom there. John drove for two hours and I drove for the final hour, but all three hours I was wearing cheap Tesco sunglasses, and my eyes were really bloodshot that afternoon and evening. They didn’t look ‘blood’ shot, just pink all over. Anyway, we both had eye tests last week, and the optician said he was ‘very happy’ with my eyes. They have hardly changed over four years. He has just changed the focusing prescription, and made a point of saying my eyes haven’t deteriorated. I’ve ordered some clear and some tinted glasses. John’s eyes were good too, and he just ordered some reading glasses, and is keeping the old long distance ones.

Anyway, back to the dizziness. I got some travel sickness pills from the pharmacist on Saturday, and I’ve been alright since Sunday (yesterday) afternoon, so hopefully that will settle down the dizziness. I think I just got my balance disturbed. It happened last summer or the summer before, and I couldn’t drive for three weeks. I remember it was annoying in some ways, but also quite restful not going anywhere far.

Today, housework. I have just read one of the posts on the Flylady site and can’t get over how sexist it is. This woman is advocating one of the Flylady products (it’s a very thinly disguised advertisement) and saying how she lives in a three storey house and has to keep carrying her husband’s and children’s stuff from floor to floor as they keep leaving things in the wrong place. WHAT!!!! Stooopid doormat.

Just finished a really good autobiography. Will write about it tomorrow as now I have to start putting John’s things away. Not.
