…yes, I know it’s a cliché, but we did have a rather wet April, and May is getting rather cold.
Everything was going quite swimmingly until my right eye decided that anything my left eye could do, it could better, particularly when it comes to retinal detachments. Firstly the vitreous detached itself from the retina, which itself is not that much of a problem, but there is an increased risk of a detachment, and that is what happened two weeks later. Fortunately, I was in the city at the time and a quick trip to the Eye Hospital followed by an equally quick operation by my trusty eye surgeon (thank you yet again…) saved the day, not to mention my eyesight. The eye is now fine, although I will need a slightly revised glasses prescription in about a week’s time once my eye has settled down.
On the music front, I have completed the next stage of my piano recording setup, and acquired a professional quality eight channel preamplifier and a 24bit/192khz analogue to digital converter. Allied to the Earthworks PianoMic PM40, the results are truly out of this world.
More about that in the next blog entry. I have to put some drops in my eye and rest up a bit.
