Only 5 more days to our Winter Solstice at 7.43am to be precise on Sunday, so they say! I'm always amazed at the precision of terrestrial events and suchlike, whilst I'm in the middle of my Coco-Pops! 
Grandmabatty that's an intriguing nickname and I'm sure there's a story in there somewhere.
Welcome! Forgive me where are you, only being a Mancunian expatriate, with 50 years loyal service "Down Under" I'm always interested in news from The Old Dart. and the rest!
Another so-so day today with a bonus of "occasional showers". Made 15C feel like 12C. 14C tomorrow! 
More Covid cases, with a junior school being closed down again,only just re-opened.
Victoria Parliament has now focussed media attention on the sudden heave-ho of 3 Labour members because of the "branch stacking" crisis. A lot of "who knew what and when "questions with a wide-eyed (Labour) Premier claiming he "knew nuttin!"
Like you Grandmabatty, eyedrop placing is tricky, with most going anywhere but ...! 
Megs glad the eye "incident" appears to have been just that! Cataract removal is a doddle, says he having had both done, not at the same time though. The eye specialist was doing all the cataracts on Tuesdays and on Wednesday his waiting room was full of patients with an eye patch. waiting for its removal. A comical "sight" in a way!
Is your mention of red/green to do with red/green colour blindness?
First thing I noticed afterwards was everything appeared so colourful.
As with many things, you don't notice the deterioration until afterwards ,but I wasn't able to discard my specs despite what the experts said prior.!
!Talking of slow deterioration; I have 2 mobile phones; one cheap "smart" phone, the posher one of the two and a really cheapo one for emergencies when I'm out; a bit redundant now especially as I regularly neglect to feed it dollars. No credit, no work! 
rafichagran Seems like you had a rough day! Are you still involved with that coffee shop, or am I thinking of someone else? Anyway, it's nice to be hot, even if bothered; beats being cold!
Good News! " Shakespeare and Hathaway continues! so we get to see "Nurse Jacqui" (aka Lu, aka Joy) again!
Good Health
