Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Well I could actually see that. All it takes is a completely darkened room and an absolutely massive screen.static.klipy.comSpider-man Spider-man 90s PsaALT: Spider-man Spider-man 90s Psa 010
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 18/08/2026First cinema attempt since round 2 of laser. Wish me luck! 010
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Moment of Truth time. Let's see if I can still do any of this kind of stuff. Going to try a repaint on these two to see if they can look less toilike 120
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Just checking back in to say hi. Second round of laser was two weeks ago it was quite painful and traumatic still relying on speech to text and text to speech. Not sure there's been any improvement yrt although I am still healing. 050
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Got another round of laser scheduled for this week, oh joy. 120
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Very happy with that. It's only taken me about 20 years from start to finish. And the last four weeks were mostly by Touch. (Sound on) 130
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Opticians this morning. I'm not sure how they are going to do an eye test when I can't even see any charts. I'm sure they know what they're doing. 010
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Going to attempt the cinema again today. The large bright screen coupled with no light pollution from elsewhere in the room will make me feel a little bit like normal again at least for a couple of hours. 020
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Very very tiny incremental improvements each day. Still can't read or do any close up work. Speech to text and text to speech are doing a lot of heavy lifting at the moment although it does rather feel like I'm giving up relying on them so much. 140
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Managed a little bit of painting today. My vision is still all over the place, so can't read or do close up work yet, but it was an achievement just to produce ANYTHING 020
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Well I really enjoyed that. A bit misty vision wise and I'm sure I missed quite a few small details, but I could see what was going on. 130
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 22/05/2026The good news is that I can see there's a screen there. The big test will be when there's something in it! 140
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Some small improvements today. Seems to be slowly getting there. Hopefully it'll improve some more by tomorrow or I'll be going out to see The Mandalorian and 'blob,' 030
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Writing with a magnifying glass and lots of aquinting. Recovery not proceeding as quickly as i would have hoped. Still lots of blorred patches obsuring my vision. Writing is not too bad with a magnifier and keyboard musvle memory, but reading is still a no no. 120
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Spare me a thought today folks. Off to the hospital this afternoon for laser surgery on my wonky peepers. I may be radio silent for a little while, as vision is supposed to get worse for a bit as it heals. 250
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 09/05/2026A little late to the party, but just watched 'The Long Walk' an absolute tour de force performance by @markhamillofficial.bsky.social 010
Jonathan Hird @jonhird.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Finally time to get off my backside and finish this helmet kit. I've only had it for over 15 years! (Absolutely nothing to do with the fact that an officially licenced replica has just been announced at 8 grand!!) 020
