I'll Walk A Million Miles ...

For One Of Your Smiles.


Completely forgot what my blip was going to be. How can that be??

Anyway, watched Human Planet. A little old Mongolian lady,looking 900 years old, living alone on the side of a remote hill, lost her sight through cataracts three years ago. The eye doctor came to a nearby village but as she can't get there as she can't see, a neighbour carried her on his back 10km to the village. The operation would cost about £8k privately here, but there its done in a school hall for a fraction of the cost, paid for by a sight-savers charity. She had the operation and her sight was restored. Tears came. Mine, not hers.
