NO SNOW, NO CAR but...

I'm H.A.P.P.Y.  I'm H.A.P.P.Y. I know I am. I'm sure I am.  I'm H.A.P.P.  H.A.P.P.   H.A.P.P.Yyyyyy.

 

Why??? You may well ask.  Yesterday I had a phone call to say my new glasses were ready for pick up.

You may not think this is something to be doing cartwheels over, but let me tell you, it is so good to be able to read close up again.!!!!:) 

You probably didn't know that I wear glasses.  How could you.????

I first started wearing glasses in 1977, when I started to learn to drive. 

I wore contact lenses for a few years, until my eyes got too bad and they couldn't make contacts for me any more. 

Due to one thing or another, I haven't had a new pair of glasses for about three or maybe even four years now. 

My eyes had got so bad, I haven't been able to read with my glasses on or off, and trying to get a splinter out of Adam's finger was nigh on impossible. :( 

I needed a pair for reading and a pair for everyday use.  If you knew me well, you would know that I loose everything. 

My handbag I have left in shops,  My purse I have left.  Once I left my brand new pair of shoes, they'd never been worn, on the top of the car and I drove of with them still on there and they were never seen again.!!!!  It's true.  Honestly.

So you can imagine my horror when she suggested two pairs.  NO WAY.

So I opted for varifocals. 

 

Oh My I have just noticed there are sheep walking past my car.  I'll have to get a photo.  Ok I'm back got some photos but they are no brilliant. I just love living here.!!!!!  Now where was I.  Oh yes.  Varifocals.

 

They tell me it can take six weeks to get used to them,  I'm only to wear them for a few hours a day, and definitely not to drive in them.  At the moment I feel I am sliding off my chair, everything is sloping, and if I don't turn my head properly, it's a bit blurry.  Well,  I will persevere.!!! :)

 

Well, still have no snow here!!  I did see a bit of news yesterday and saw that Scotland I think had quite a bit.  Sadly I heard there has been a fatality already.  Sending condolences to the family.  I feel guilty now that I have been asking for snow.  Just a little bit would have made me happy.  I had such a lovely time as a child in the snow, when we had 6ft snow drifts and had to dig ourselves out of the back door.  So exciting when you are only eight  yrs old.!!  As I was saying to someone this morning, I am a Cancerian, which makes me a romantic.  What can I say.!!  :)

 

As for the car.  Well,  all I can say is that I am calmer today.  It's a good job Laura was on the computer yesterday because I was having a serious rant.!!! :(

The garage in question, which we will never use again, hadn't even ordered the part until Wednesday 2nd .  It should have been there on Thursday 3rd.  NO. It hadn't turned up.  Still no phone call as yet. It's now 10.17am. on Friday 4th.  It is a good job I do not have to phone them.  I am not renowned for my even temper.!!!!  So I am still without transport. :(

 

Well, this has turned into a rambling entry.  Sorry.  Adam is trying to open cans of cat food to feed the cats, so I had better get off here and go sort him out, before he cuts himself.

 

Have a great Friday.
