I didn't feel like going for a walk this morning, I had a little sleep in instead...I had planned on taking the dogs out later in the day, but by the time I had got other chores done, I ran out of daylight.
We had to go to one of our local garden centres today to sort out our club card as although we had renewed it, and fortunately had the proof, it was saying it was expired when we last went. Fortunately they managed to sort out the glitch and gave us a refund from the meal we had at the previous time it wasn't working. We had lunch out which was nice and a welcome distraction.
I had to post an eBay parcel. Slowly selling things, but only for a few pounds, I do sometimes wonder if it is worth the effort.
I went down the road to have a look at glasses and may have chosen a pair, very different from what I normally have, but should hopefully increase the actual usable field of vision so I can actually use the variofocals for the purposes I want to use them for, i.e. reading music, but also being able to see the conductor... reading books if I want to, without having to move my head, and walking around wearing them. Same price approximately as the previous place, so still not cheap. I have gone away to think about it.
I also went to try a bike out that I saw in the local bike shop. It is second hand, but the sort of bike I have been wanting for a very long time. You sit upright, there is no downward pressure on the shoulders and arms which will suit me much better. So I have asked family if they would like to contribute towards it for my Christmas present. Probably not the best time of year to get one, but it is a very good price, and you don't often see them.
I manged to get a lovely pack of pure wool also which I am really pleased with as it is a thin ply.
Lovely colours!
A lunch refund was definitely worth sorting the card out for. Anything I ever want to see on Ebay Mark always asks how much do you want for it and when I tell him he says just take it to the charity shop. I don't do it and it's obviously not worth his time or the trouble of parcelling it up and taking it to the post office. He sells quite a bit of stuff but that really is worth doing.
ReplyDeleteMy Mum struggles with her variofocals and has exactly the same problem. Not enough window and has to keep moving her head rather than her eyes.
A bike for Christmas sounds a lovely gift. Good idea to ask people to contribute to something you really want. Do you have something in mind for the wool, they're a nice colour combination. xx
Yes in deed it was worth sorting the card out for. We get several free meals throughout the year with it, plus discounts on produce.
DeleteNot sure what I am going to use the wool for yet...it is really lovely and the combination works well.
