When you're out of bed, you're tired; when you try going to bed, you're suddenly completely awake and unable to sleep.

Bausch & Lomb have decided that the infection problem must be related to the MoistureLoc formula and have withdrawn it from the market. They're advising all customers to dispose of it and buy the old MultiPlus formula.

Great--I've got 3.5 bottles of the stuff! (Boots Opticians give you 2 bottles of solution with 3 months of lenses.) The optician specifically said that if I was using ReNu, I should be using the MoistureLoc. Bausch & Lomb's FAQ doesn't include anything about silicon hydrogel wearers :(

AND I bought a brand new bottle on Saturday because I'd forgotten to bring mine with me. £9 down the drain!!! (At that point I was still thinking that the infection problem wasn't an issue in Europe and I hadn't worried about it.)

From today's Pandora in the Indy:

'Asked about his attitude to regimes alleged to abuse human rights (the Tory questioner cited China and Venezuela) Ken claimed Mao's cultural revolution was "justified", because it improved chiropody.

"One thing that Chairman Mao did was to end the appalling foot binding of women," he announced. "That alone justifies the Mao Tse-tung era."

The comment met with disbelief from members of the London Assembly. They note that Jung Chang's recent book on Mao blames him for the deaths of seventy million people.'

(Hmm, just noticed that the Indy is using the old Wade-Giles system instead of Pinyin--nowadays Mao's first name is normally written Zedong.)
