Varifocals - through the lens darkly
Posted Sep 7, 2009
Don't say you should have gone to "Specsavers!", because I did. (UK advert reference, for non UK readers)
Now I am trying to get used to glasses that seem to have 75% of their area set to "blur" when I am trying to look at things.
I either have to dip my head (and multiply my chins) to look into the distance or raise my head (and look snooty) when looking at my computer screen.
I may need to get a longer nose fitted to accommodate the repositioning of the specs.

Holiday to Cornwall
Posted Aug 27, 2009
My appearances on the site may be reduced drastically over the next week as I and some of my family will be going to Cornwall to live in a caravan.
We're going to Rick Stein's eatery in Padstow on Saturday so I'm hoping I'm not allergic to his cooking.

New job
Posted Aug 26, 2009
Woohoo! I've just been told that I have been successful at interview. Redundancy no longer looms and I'm going to be doing something that I will enjoy much more... I hope. I will only be moving a short distance (two floors straight down as the crow burrows).

Playing with my french horn
Posted Aug 26, 2009
Life becomes much more interesting as you lose your hearing.
I was very impressed when I heard a young person say, "I'm going to play with my French Horn!" when actually what was said was "I'm going to play with my friend, Shaun!"

Extraction Fan

I'm not one of those, for sure. I've just had a tooth out at the dentist (upper right pre molar roots - following the tooth being broken due to neglect).
My dentist is very good and I have a lot of confidence in her which helps. I'm working on my relaxation technique - which helps a lot - while I'm in the chair.
Mouth is numb so if I type with a lithp pleathe forgive me.
