After being diagnosed with a detached retina at the start of June, and having had to have 2 eye operations over the summer at Great Ormond St, one of my mini ranters has just measured a 75 on the Snellen eyesight scale, having been at 120 last week (smaller is better in this case).

how did you manage to do that? sounds painful!

Despite having every test going, they still don't know how he did it.

Got you. I thought "ranters" was a mispelling of retinas. Didn't question why you were in Great Ormond Street as a grown man. Doh

Glad the wee one is doing better.

I’ll probably get a quick in and out with my Mrs on the Sunday morning if I’m lucky.

 

Just like your dad gets for his Christmas. 

 

Happy birthday!

The fact that the time of diagnosis is round about the time of Dumbarton's playoff defeat and relegation to League 1 is purely coincidental.

Sausage Dogs. 

You could have lost all of your limbs and entire family just a few hours before and yet the sight of a sausage dog would still make you smile.

I used to work with a lad who kept two of the wire-haired ones. He brought them into the office once and one of them peed on the boss's carpet. A good day all round.

Almost three weeks since we had our flight cancelled back home from Barcelona, had no reply whatsoever from British Airways, so rung them today. 

Spoke to a fella named Alastair who was absolutely brilliant. Apologised for the lack of contact, had one look at the information and let me know he would refund everything and sort out our compensation of £250 each. He also refunded our original flight costs as well which was unexpected.

All done via Bank Transfer so hopefully have the money within the week.
