Eye Infection (by sarah)

For the last week I have been suffering an eye infection - this is slightly different from the conjuctervitis that Al and Jean had over Christmas. I got something in my eye and it started weeping and producing very pale gunk under the lid and feeling all scratchy. Only in the left eye. I then put in some eye ointment and my eye lids and the bit over bone between the eyebrow and lid puffed right up. The eye itself went very bloodshot.

I was allergic to the ointment - sigh.

Anyway it has only stopped weeping today though is still producing some gunk. I unseccesfully tried to take photos of my own eye - they didn't work but here they are anyway!

After three days with the swelling getting worse I really did start to look like I'd been in a fight - still do!

The pics were taken before I had the reaction to the ointment!

Wiggly Pets and Shrooms (by sarah)

I ment to post this ages ago but forgot about it!

Here are some wiggly pets investigating Mushrooms and Fungi of various sorts!

I'm afraid that maggots came out of this and due to Sarahs maggot phobia Al disappeared it rather than any culnary goodness coming of it.

Broken Vase (by sarah)

I'm sad becuase I broke the lovely vase we got as an engament presant :'( I had everything on the floor as I was washing and dusting everything and knocked it over.

It was the one with all the beads wrapped around it - I am going to use them to make other things so it wont be completely wasted :'(

Silly Sarah 🙁

The Masked Ball (by sarah)

This year - as for the previous two - we went to the Masked Ball in Oxford. I just about squeezed back into the outfit I wore the first year - which as it was made big as I was pregnant if not very, was about the only outfit that currently fits - everything else being either to big or two small! There was however a lot of 'shoe horning' me into the corset and it took three people to do it up!

Here are my pictures of the event!

However for descent pictures of the event I suggest you look at Carina's photos!
