Having had my eyes tested I ordered and then collected my new glasses. The close sight in my left eye has got so bad that the NHS contributed to the cost of them – all of £37-40! When I got them they didn’t seem quite right, but the girl persuaded me that it was because of the change and it would just need getting used to.
After a weekend when I could only read by letting them fall down my nose, I took them back on Monday and got them adjusted so they were higher. I could then read but they hurt my nose! Having taken them back twice more they don’t hurt my nose but maybe are not quite level. I can keep taking them back until they are right…….
Only two people noticed the change, but they aren’t very different. I suspect those two were just looking out as I had said I was getting new ones.
Meanwhile I had decided to start one of the jigsaws that I got for my birthday. It has 1000 pieces, but is only just over a foot in length each way – 42 by 29 cm actually. This obviously makes the pieces very small, so apart from the problem of dropping them, as they are very fiddly and the fear of losing them, as they are so small and will fall down the sides of the sofa, I was also having problems actually seeing them clearly! I did manage to make a start though.
The one advantage of the small pieces is that one can put out a lot so picking out the right ones is easier – maybe.
But I suspect it is going to take a long time – especially if the weather continues nice so I am wanting to go out to work in the garden.
So? I expect the glasses and jigsaw will settle down and get sorted – I hope! It is bound to start raining and get cooler again.
