Looking ahead ...

Back in April my optician wrote to say that my regular eye examination was now due. In fact, my eyes are being examined regularly by the opthalmologist, so I know that the reason my vision is deteriorating is cataracts, in both eyes; and we have discussed this and decided not to take action on it right now. So there didn't seem to be any urgency about contacting the optician.

On the other hand, every time my glasses fall off - and this is my main problem with wearing a face mask, that my glasses fall off - I think that maybe I should get in touch with the optician, and even if he can't do anything about my sight, maybe he can adjust the fit of my glasses. This morning, full of post-holiday virtue, I have picked up the phone and made that appointment.

Jonathan's first available appointment is on January 17th. Or maybe it isn't, now, because I've booked it. He's worth the wait.

Fortunately I bought next year's diary on Saturday, at the National Trust shop at Fountains Abbey.

Sorry to hear about the cataracts, that is very sucky.

Gosh, you still keep a paper diary! I couldn't manage without Google Calendar (given my failing memory I can barely manage with it).

I have a pop-up diary on my desktip which I think is part of Outlook express - but I do like a paper diary I can look at, and turn pages, and get an overview. I usually buy myself something with a pretty picture fir each week, as an incentive -

- and this year I didn't, so we know that if I don't have a paper fiary, I miss it!
