we spent a considerable amount of time with mark as his eye healed , he would always be blind in one eye , but with glasses he should have reasonable sight in the other , and he was a visible reminder to the press to keep their distance , no matter where we went we saw neither hide non hair of them , but they were replaced by yet more builders at el campo , they were storming ahead with the railway track - every time i blinked another kilometre of track had been laid .
