"It's all to do with the cataract not allowing an image to focus on the retina !" he said, illustrating his words with a similar drawing to mine.
 |
| The clear lens at the top allows the image to focus onto the retina whereas the cataract in the lower sketch won't allow a sharp image to focus on the retina but just in front of it ! My readings of 66 and 675 mean NOTHING to me ! |
Anyway I showed this sketch to my wife this evening once I'd got her to briefly look up from the latest ScandiNoir !
"Are you saying that the pupil is a hole ?" she asked, with her eyes on her screen !
 |
| Shirley didn't know that the pupil was a hole that light rays passed through ! |
"I never knew that !"
"You never knew that the pupil was a hole that light passed through ?"
"No."
"Well how did you think that light got through to your retina ?"
"I don't know, I've never thought about it !"
I am now back in my room and it occured to me that when we first met I pointed romantically at the full moon as we lay on Brighton beach listening to waves breaking on the shore and said, "I think he's smiling down on us tonight !"
 |
| "There's a man in the moon looking at us ?" my then girlfriend asked ! |
"Who's looking down at us ?" she said, sitting up and destroying the atmosphere I'd spent at least a minute building up !
"The man in the moon !" I murmured, urging her to return to a more comfortable prone position !
"There's a man in the moon looking at US ?" she asked, refusing to lie back down !
"Of course there's a man in the moon, look, there he is !"
"Well I've never seen HIM before !" she said after putting on her glasses which I didn't know she needed !
I could have walked away but I had other things on my mind !
My wife continued to watch her programme and I went back to sewing THIRTY SEVEN wallets !
