Aaarrgh

I just read my post with my 'eyes in'. I use one of those packages that lets you talk and the computer generates the text. For 'die', please read 'dye'.

sorry!

Andrew,

I honestly think no-one has noticed or are to polite to say :D

After all there is only a U between Y and I and blurred vision is easy to miss a key and never notice.

Will see what the optom says on Tuesday next when I refuse to have the yellow stuff in my eye incase it is the stuff of horror :shock:

Hi Andrew

Don't worry I certainly didn't notice, it's easy to read things quickly in the context you know applies when you are screwing your eyes up and bobbing away and towards the screen.

On the Dye subject, I wonder if anyone who went to an appointment yesterday had any fun afterwards. Yellow turning to green eyes under UV light must have been great with the halloween costumes!

Susan
