Maffi IV

It is a week since Maffis operation and he is looking much more coherent, and his eye is looking much better as the days pass. Whenever I open his eyelids to put his eye drops in it looks as though a vulture is peering out at me, but as time passes the vulture is looking more tame. It must be very boring being on his front or side all the time, but considering the company he has been keeping is me I think he has coped admirably.

Alistair from the forum came over last night which was fun, he came armed with some french red and some Guinness imported from Ikeja in Nigeria which I have never had before; it is extraordinary and delicious!
