Finally got my manky mince pie sorted out. After another misdiagnosis from my GP, I went along to the opticians, where a very nice pregnant Irish lady shined her little torch into my eye and found a foreign body wedged into my cornea. She sent me off to Moorfields Eye Hospital toute suite and I sat in the waiting room with a loop of Buñuel's 'Un Chien Andalou' running in my head. Mercifully, the offending item was removed expertly and painlessly by a wonderful Filipino nurse with a needle and I am now free of both pain and blurred vision. Hurrah! The picture above is not a pair of peeled tomatoes but the back of my eyes, which I had photographed while at the opticians. Quite beautiful, I think, and also, I'm told, quite healthy. Which is nice.
