I Have Something to Say

I could find only one pair of reading glasses out of a pack of 15 that I'd ordered two weeks earlier. I leave them in the bathroom, hooked over lampshades, on any shelf or table with space, on bedside tables, in the car, on the arm of the sofa, beside the microwave. So I hunted. I found one more pair, so I stormed around in a temper and got my lord and master on the job. He managed to get the number up to five, which was unsatisfactory. I was annoyed for days.

Quite by chance I was scrolling through past purchases and came across my order for specs. Five pairs for £15.

What a twit I am

I fear that if it wasn't for my wife's failing eyesight, she would have left me years ago. I started hiding her glasses in 1977.

Interesting. I have a theory about pens. Houses absorb pens. If you buy 4 pens, the house can easily absorb them in a few days or a week. You have to supersaturate the house. 15-20 pens. The house can absorb most of them but not all - so you will always have a few available for a while.

Maybe reading glasses are the same.

I know the feeling. I suddenly realised I.need glasses when I was doing jewellery and I couldn’t see the links in the chain<

It's hell to get old. I wouldn't know a thing about that though.

That's so romantic. Maybe there is another 10 pairs... *bites fist
