Whenever I spot a pin on the floor, I remember Donald Pleasence in The Great Escape, convincing James Garner that his eyesight is fine. [DP had actually been a POW in WW2] I am aware that my eyesight is not what it once was. I've been wearing glasses for half my life. And they are not cheap! But I have recently had an eye test and acquired new ones. This time I have chosen slightly more colourful frames than usual - tortoiseshell at the front, bright peacock blue at the side.
Our Vision Express is situated at the back of Tesco. When they told me the glasses were ready, I nipped down to collect them, stopping only to buy some Alka Seltzer, and a meat and pastry snack as I left the supermarket.
As
Sue said last Friday, once you get to our age, life is just "Specs, Drugs and Sausage Rolls"!
If you are in the UK, enjoy the Bank Holiday, and do avoid getting dehydrated or sunburnt
That's a rather mixed shopping bag... I assume the alka-selzer (do you remember the 'plink, blink, fizz' slogan?) and the pastries were not connected!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend 😀
No, I'd finished the previous pack, and like to keep some in the medicine cabinet in case. Yes I remember that ad!
