Message from a hard working Aussie.

g'day fellow wood worshippers sorry i haven't been around for a while but i have had a bit of a problem with my eyeballs.
cataracts on both eyes which got so bad that it was a battle to read anything and i finally had to do something about it.
took a months annual holidays from work and booked in to have them removed -- (the cataracts i mean) and interocular lenses fitted.
that was probably the most amazing operation i have ever had , and believe me there have been plenty.
no pain whatsoever and only minor discomfort for a couple of days after each eye was done. last visit to the doctor after only three weeks and vision is now 6:20:20
which is about as good as you can get.

i have had 5 jobs in my life (not counting jobs additional to my full-time one)
and still working full-time and loving it at the age of 76.
my wife (child bride for the last fifty years) also works 3 days a week and has raised three wonderful hard working honest children.
for me mates, life is full of joy and fulfillment
NOW IF I COULD JUST GET THIS MORTISE AND TENONING RIGHT I COULD DIE HAPPY
best wishes to all of you and hope to see more of you in the future

yep the catract op is great.
Only thing I didn't like was looking up at this huge needle coming down to my eye
