Hung around the Banbury area for a couple of weeks. Valda, my No. 2's sister visited on the 12th and I had my cataract operation on the 13th.
13th
Walked up to the hospital with my No. 2 in time for the op, which went really smoothly and painlessly.
Couldn't wait to set off.
15th to 28th 34 miles 17 locks 1 lift bridge
Cruised along to Cropredy during the course of the day. My eye held up well and I could almost see everything. Both lenses have been set of nearly driving quality but I asked that I would still have to wear spectacles as I am so used to having them in front of me protecting my eyes that I just know if I haven't got any on I will get grinding sparks and the like in my eyes.
Spent the rest of the month taking a leisurely cruise up the South Oxford, along the joining bit of the Grand Union and up the North Oxford to Brinklow, one of our favourite mooring spots.
