Ishbel and I had an appointment on Thursday morning to have our eyes tested. We went in to my work for a while before we went to the optometrists. Here is what she wrote while we were in my office (no changes to spelling or grammar):
Today I am getting my eyes checked. I am at my mums work until nine thirty. I am helping my mum but she hasn't told my to do anything yet. So that is why I am writing this storey. My mum is working at the library. When I got go to get my eyes checked I will not know what to do I will just wait for my name to be called. After I get my eyes checked I will get a sandwich. And then I will go to school.
Ishbel had been complaining of her vision going a bit fuzzy at times. Holly has recently (at 16) been diagnosed with a form of dyslexia. She's always found it difficult to read and thought she was stupid. She's been given a pair of glasses with dark lenses and is reading everything she can get her hands on now. Thought it would be best to check Ishbel out.
She just has a problem with convergence so now has to do exercises to make her eyes converge ie. go cross-eyed. Didn't Karen have the same?

Yes, originally they gave me glasses but then changed to the eye exercises which helped. Apparently I had a slight squint. Doesn't Dad have/had a squint too? Isn't that why he couldn't be a pilot?
Yes, dad does have a squint and had it been sorted as a child he would probably have been a pilot. They found out at the end of his testing.
I think his mother had a slight turning of the eye too so it may come from the Carmichael side and Charlie also had a faulty eye, can't remember if it was a squint or not.
By the way Karen, I had a real row with them at Welly because they didn't even let me know you had a problem.

Good heavens, what was so bad you deleted the second comment?
Hope you enjoyed the sandwich Ishbel. Love GD
Yes, I did have a squint. If my eyesight had been perfect I would have picked a 20/20 woman for my wife. However, squinters can't have everything in life.

Ishbel, what a well written blog. You are a very clever girl. Love GD
I managed to post the same comment twice, when I logged in it said my password was incorrect so I tried again only to find it did post the comment, so nothing bad!
Curious to know what the 20/20 woman was like!
Love Karen
When he was young 'centuries' ago it was Bridget Bardot - have you seen her recently!!!!!!! However, I will get him to tell you himself.
You will remember us telling you that you asked Grampa Shearer how many centuries old he was.
Couldn't believe my word recognition was 'gings' I wonder if it was just random or if it was deliberate - think it was just random.
The 20/20 woman in my youth was a blonde bombshell. Unfortunately there were not many around at the time, so I chose someone with pigtails!!
Love GT
