The good stuff is further down

Mental meanderings of an old man

A much needed guide for old farts (who still have it) about doing the wild thing past, present and future. With helpfull insight into the hurt and confusion that wasting 23 years on being married can bring.

I can see clearly now, sort of

I may have solved my myopic problem, at least temporarily, I found a pair of glasses at work they look quite cool to. Gold frames, not too heavy, they give me a distinguished look. I tried them on but they just made things worse, it was obvious that whoever had owned these specs had the same problem I had but the other way round.

My right eye is worse than my left, his left eye must have been worse than his right. I know this because I put them on upside down and hey presto I could see again, that’s a slight exaggeration, I'm not blind, I just have trouble reading and when using the computer, probably through years of reading and using the computer.

The only major problem, apart from looking like a dick is that they keep falling off, unless I keep my head perfectly straight, which of course I cant do whilst I'm working because of having to look up at my PC screen and down at what’s on my desk. So I taped an elastic band to the arms and this keeps them on my head.

The upshot of this is that I now have a rather nasty red mark on the bridge of my nose which is irritating, still its a small price to pay and this illuminating exercise has reaffirmed my intention to visit the opticians as soon as possible. Meanwhile I have been getting some very odd looks from my colleagues.
