No change, but I wanted new!

 

Because I haven't been sleeping well,  two nights awake for hours and then up three times to the loo on other nights, yesterday morning when I woke just after 7:30 I went to the loo and then back under the duvet and slept another couple of hours, I was so tired.

 By the time I'd showered it was coffee time, I only ate half my lunch because I wasn't hungry. We then rushed off to town because our eye tests were booked.

After  last years fiasco when the optician, who I'd used since moving here, failed to order the new lenses and were very snooty when I said in exasperation, ok I'll have my £400 back. I, then had disaster with a well known national eye shop where the vari -focals just didn't work. I could not see properly with them, so took them back and had just reading glasses lenses.

So yesterday we went to another optician. She was very nice, thorough and said my eyes hadn't changed that much, the cataracts were still very small, and the Macular Degenerative condition of my left eye was very little and shouldn't cause me any bother. So no need for new lenses, I was a bit disappointed because I wanted new! She suggested I have another test 6 months time if I want.  So I might do that because I really fancied some red frames!

While Dh was having his eyes tested, I chatted to the two young ladies, because I remembered that shop when it was Hawkins Toy shop. It had a fire there in the sixties and the news reporter  writing about it had said, there were children watching the fire burning the teddies and dolls in great distress! True? I have no idea.

It was bitterly cold out and the wind off the sea sweeping into the main street was cutting, almost like ice crystals in it. We were glad to get home and into the warm and I ate the rest of my lunch!
