Cataract

Dad had his cataract removed/repaired on Thursday. He says he is not in pain but the eye looks very bloodshot. He is not to do any heavy work for a week or so - that includes golf. His back is improving but finds it hard to remember to do his excercises!!!
The weather here in Canberra is absolutely beautiful. We did have some rain over Easter which is improving the greenness of the grass. Oh how we wish for more rain. Queensland is drowning!!
There are so many repairs/jobs to do around here that I don't know where to start. We will have to work out a programme of attack. One small step at a time. I must get on to painting the rest of the iron work on the back patio. The front looks quite decent with the carport, gate and wrought iron painted.
There was an earthquake in Melbourne recently and it did damage to John's retaining wall. Of course the fine print in his insurance policy does not cover repair of that. It looks like he is postponing a proposed trip to Jamaica. Living on one salary is quite stressful for him. He doesn't complain though.
