New glasses
Jul. 31st, 2025 05:44 pmNew glasses picked up from the optician. Although it has been interesting seeing afterwards how polarised glasses can cope - or not - with mobile devices like smartphones. Funky colour effects! Luckily this will not be a major problem for me. But I do think the optician should have warned me before. It's also been a good heads up to warn Martin not to go for polarised glasses in future.
But that aside I'm very pleased with my two new pairs of glasses. I am asleep for so much of the time that the polarised sunglasses don't get much use at all. The non polarised clear glasses are worn at night when I'm awake and watching TV. Though living in Dundee, which is particularly renowned for being especially sunny, all year round, I do prefer dark sunglasses when outside in the day, and they are very much needed then.
Today's afternoon outing also saw us enjoy a snack/late lunch in a nearby cafe/deli before I went to the opticians. And grab a punnet of more fresh Monifieth (the town where we live on the edge of Dundee) strawberries.

We were in Broughty Ferry today. Aced my latest eye test. A little bit more short sighted, so going to get new glasses this time. But, best of all, still no glaucoma or cataracts, despite 28 years of permanent daily steroids. So very relieved. Called into the uni library to return a book and pick up another. Then home. We have fresh strawberries from Balhungie Berry Farm in Monifieth, spotted and nabbed from the Love Your Planet shop in Broughty Ferry. Where we also bought a bag of Sacred Grounds coffee beans, a new variety for me to try. Also sat outside a local cafe/deli, drinking chilled milkshakes. So good. But, yes, eyes good.
