I find it very difficult to read after my CRVO. Words dance around and doing it for any length of time gives me a headache. But at least I can still knit - probably because I don't have to keep looking at what I'm doing all the time.

Eye jab #2 done and I bought this as a special 'well done' treat for afterwards. It was tiny compared to what it used to be like but was still delicious... #shrinkflation

Keen to hear from anyone diagnosed with CRVO. I was 6 weeks ago and it has brought important parts of my life to a shuddering halt with no definite answers on what the future may hold. Feels quite lonely at the moment...

Horrible impact of the fire in Abergavenny - but newsagent Paul, who has lost his home, will still be trading from alternative premises in Baker's Street https://t.co/lUiJwoa4Xt

A man has lost everything in a large scale fire in Abergavenny that has destroyed a piece of history, a Grade II listed building on Frogmore Street.

Thank you to @GriffinBooksUK and all who came to the talk about my history of 614 County of Glamorgan Squadron - ‘On Dragons’ Wings’. It was moving to talk about the sacrifices of our fallen on this special day. Profits from the sale of the book, from @YLolfa go to @RAFBF

BBC 2. The Cure. Brilliant. Loved them since I heard 10.15 on a Saturday Night on John Peel when it first came out. One of the best live bands I've ever seen. Never understood why they are labelled as goth though...

The @NUJofficial supports the stance taken by publishers, arguing "this threatens not only to diminish the availability of important information to the public but also to deprive local newspapers of an important income stream at a time when they are already under severe pressure"
