An action-packed weekend part 1

First stop, the monthly market in the marketplace of Midsomer Norton Françoise bought her usual fish order. There are no fishmongers in Midsomer Norton and she doesn't like to rely on frozen fish.  We bought some freshly baked bread and some cheese made with unpasturized milk.

Since it is a procedure entirely new to me I had no views about it and no fears of it.  So great is my trust in the eye department  of the Royal United Hospital here in Bath, and so many operations of this type have been performed that there is no reason to fear.
