Limo

I was up at 7:00. Ellie was being dropped off and I wanted to be ready for the tsunami that would, no doubt, accompany her. To be fair, she was pretty restrained and settled down for breakfast without any disruption.

Mid-morning we had to head towards Highleigh Pound (about 8 miles from home). Jasper needed collection from his Spa and I was driving his Limo. He had clearly had a good time with Mark (the Cat Whisperer) but it was time to return home and torment us. He was deposited in his carrying basket and then whined and moaned the whole way home. Ellie, sitting next to him, tried to calm him but he was having none of it. Back home, Jasper leapt from his basket and did several full tours of the house before settling done, content that we had changed nothing in his absence.

Early afternoon we had to take Ellie to the optician. She had managed to get glitter in her eye on Friday and was treated at the time, This was a follow-up appointment to take the opportunity to test her vision. The glitter seems long gone, but today's tests show a slight long-sightedness in her right eye. This is not related to the accident with the glitter. It does need to be monitored and, if wanted, they could prescribe some glasses that would help. Personally, I don't think she should embark on that route as yet. She is not exhibiting any symptoms related to difficulties with her sight. I think she should hang fire and see if the problem rectifies naturally as she grows.
