THERE ARE SNAKES, SNAKES, BIG AS GARDEN RAKES ...

... no, not in my garden thank you.

 

"My eyes are dim I can not see I have not got my specs with me
I have not got my specs with me."

 

Yesterday while playing tennis I had to call it quits early and go home because I couldn't see properly.

My eyes have been giving my gyp recently and have been worse over the last few days. I had planed to go to an optician for a check up and a new prescription for lenses but The Old Girl convinced me to make an appointment with an ophthalmologist. I did that yesterday but, no surprises here, the earliest I can be seen is mid January. The cost is enormous but hey! Eyesight is extremely important.

I'm hoping that the outcome will be the requirement for a new prescription but at my age, cataracts and macular degeneration are a real possibility. 

Fingers crossed (not eyes hopefully).





I'll give tennis another go tomorrow if the rain eases up.

CREATING CHRIST - JESUS CHRIST WAS 'BORN' IN THE FOURTH CENTURY

 I've mentioned before how Christianity and Catholicism's 'beliefs' and 'proofs' didn't originate until centuries after Christ's death but, hey don't just take my word for it, watch this documentary if you want.



It's good to see this laid out in a digestible essay even if it's a bit repetitive. It's something that I've learned over my lifetime from reading, university studies, discussions with theologians I've known and of course my in-built atheism. Believe me (a little joke there) this is worth watching.
