WHAT DID I DO TODAY?

Well, I didn't create another alter ego with a vile name like Richard did.

This morning I went into town to collect my new spectacles.

Now you'll remember that the eye surgery I had about 5 weeks ago, as a side-bonus, corrected my decades long short sightedness. The result and the benefit is wonderful. The problem was though that, while my long vision is close to 20:20 my close vision - for reading and computer work has necessitated me using reading or 'hobby' glasses. I bought those from the supermarket for $10 and from the pharmacy for about $25 but after trying different magnifications (1.75, 2.0 and 2.25) I couldn't find any that were totally comfortable. Making it worse I found t to be a hassle having to take the damned things off and putting them on again depending on tasks. Supermarket shopping and trying to type on a computer keyboard while watching TV was the worst.

I went to Specsavers and had an eye test and ordered a couple of pairs of specs with progressive lenses. The top part of the lenses are clear on one side and slightly magnified on the other to now make both eyes 20:20. The bottom part are at a magnification to make my short vision perfect or close to. Trying them today I'm well pleased at the result. Apropos of nothing here's what  the two new pairs of specs look like:

Alex Perry ones

Hugo ones

Hey! I'm happy.
