I finally got to the exhibition but was a little disappointed… the clothes were over the top as expected, some of the garments were amazing, but it was the visitors that ruined the day for me. We must have made it on pensioners day – there were loads of groups of pensioners ssshhhh’ing us throughout the entire exhibition. It was annoying and very rude and it ruined the ambience of the entire exhibition. Nevermind, lunch and the company made up for it.

In the evening, Michelle & I both had an appointment with the ophtamologist for an examination of the retina at the back of the eye. We had drops we had to use an hour or so before the appointment that dilate the pupil, by the time we were ready to go we could barely see anything clearly and lights were flashing & brilliant as we headed up the Blvd Sebastapol on the rainy evening. We got there, he numbed the eyeball (eugh!), carried out his exam (eugh! again), and we were on our way – seeing less and less as we headed home. Since we could barely see anything far, and nothing close up, we stopped at the Thai for dinner. We know the menu off by heart so ordering was no worry, it was just the worrying looks we got from the other diners with our eyes completely dilated and pupils completely black.

But not to worry – two middle aged women having dinner together at the local Thai would never be mistaken for ecstasy poppers!
