G put the dishwasher on after breakfast. When I came to empty it after lunch it hadn't functioned. Oh burger! Put it on again and it stopped again at the same point. Rang the local man who does Bosch. When I gave him the model number and said I though it was at least 5 years old, he said add 10 - ie 15 years old or thereabouts. It could be repaired but at a great cost. Discussion with G arrived at the conclusion that the most cost effective action was to renew. So we will get another Bosch. They are so reliable. I need advice about which one to get, so putting a thing up in the forum.
Settled down to wash up before I had to go out. Did the 'old man' offer to help? No, he was sitting with his legs up in the Conservatory, alongside the kitchen, reading the paper. After a while, he needed a pee, so on his return offered to dry up the few remaining glasses! Brilliant!!!
Next on the programme was to go to the occulist. He is lovely and has been doing our regular eye test for years and years. "Anything special about your eyes?" "Yes, I am having trouble reading road signs at a reasonable distance away" In a second a car number appeared on the wall and I could just read it, so I am legal! Then he set about testing my long sight and gradually all things came clear, first with one eye, then the other. So --- I am to have glasses to drive in. Good. Then he moved on to my short sight for which I have had glasses for ages. At one point I said "ooh that's much better" and later when I asked whether I was to have new lenses he said did I not remember how much better I had found one setting. So --- I am to have new reading lenses. So far so good, but then he shone lights into my eyes and puffed air on my eyeballs. The puffing showed no problem with pressure, but he found that my lenses were dirty!! A lovely way of saying that the beginnings of catteract where showing. Not a problem yet, but will be in time.
After that I went to Curries and looked at Bosche Dishwashers. Came to a partial conclusion but need your input/advice. See forum.

Hello Withy,
I know nothing about dishwashers, do my own washing up by hand.
However, I do thank you for reminding me to make an eye doctor appointment. I have had glaucoma for decades, and just have to use drops every night, and keep having the regular check ups. My very fine doctor has also started cluing me in on cataract care, readying me for what might be needed in the years to come. (Having cataract surgery often clears up glaucoma!)
Best wishes with the new dishwasher!

Hi Withy, sounds an expensive trip! But worth it if you can now see! A shame about the cataract, but at least it has been spotted early.
