Moneo writes: You can remind an old dog of a few tricks

About two weeks ago Mrs Moneo and I got a new puppy. She is just the most delightful and fun loving dog that we could have wished for.

Over the years there will be those of you who may have thought that Moneo is just a cynical old optometrist but I have to tell you that I have had my heart softened by the experiences of the last two weeks. I have also learned such a lot in the last two weeks that has caused me to reflect on how I do my everyday job as an optometrist.

Firstly I have learned just how important it is to live life to the full. Waking hours are for maximising opportunities and for living life at a break-neck speed giving the chance to gain from every opportunity that may arise.
