We took my mother to the opticians yesterday. She has macular degeneration. Ten years ago, said the optician, there was nothing that could be done. Now there are injections.

HAHAHAHA! What a fabulous picture of Ailz! (EDIT: and yeah, closed toe shoes....)

She likes driving things.

It's always good to master a new skill.
