Piers and Lin du Pré bought their new Fleming 55 / 129, Play d'eau, in 2003.

“Woke up, got out of bed…”
As the song goes, “Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head”. And then I looked in the mirror, and saw an horrific sight! A red eye looking back at me.
For some unknown reason, it was completely bloodshot. Possibly not the prettiest sight know to man.
How?
How did it happen? No ‘eyedea’. It just happened. No pain, no blurred vision. It was just red. No feeling of anything being in the eye.
It’s interesting watching peoples’ reaction. Some see, study for a second or so, and look at the other eye as though there was nothing wrong. Others look, frown, come closer and say in a somewhat accusatory tone, “What on earth is wrong with your eye?” Subtle and caring…
No, I’ve not become a vampire. Just a bit self conscious!

Puts a different slant on the expression “Eye, Eye, Skipper!”
Hope it clears up soon.

Brilliant!
Oh dear-horrid for you. It will go but just takes its time. Wear sunglasses if it’s embarrassing. I will see it-and you- tomorrow!
Lots of love, Hil x x
Since I used to fly long haul for BA, maybe this is what’s meant by ‘The Red Eye?’
Looks like conjunctivitis to me. Should fade by Christmas….no, not really. In the next couple of days.
Just one of these things.

Like your comment, Piers. Didn’t think of that one!
Is this what the expression “I’m seeing red” means???
Seriously, though, we hope your eye is improving and looking less angry.

‘Seeing red’ – love it. Sadly, it’s fading a bit. Sadly, because sympathy levels are reducing….
Aaaaaaah!!!
Not really sulking….
I had that about ten years ago, Dr. Sent me to eye hospital for treatment, had drops for a couple of weeks, was told if not treated could cause permanent vision probs. hope your gets better soon, and hope it’s not serious.
Love to both of you

Hi Marion. I’m off to see the Optometrist in a few days. A ‘super’ form of optician. Feels fine at the moment, but I want to make sure. Thanks for the concern.
