What have you done today thread?

[Mr. Dazzle]

My prescription hasn't changed in about 5 years... I have 10 pairs of glasses (get 2 free pairs a year through my health insurance) with the same prescription.

If you use a VDU for more than a certain fraction of your work day your employer will pay for your tests too. I think it's about 50% but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say an IT bod meets the minimum requirement.

There are many who will tell you that once you start wearing glasses your eyes start to deteriorate quicker.

I've never heard that before

From about age 40, eyes deteriorate. The lens hardens, so won't adjust for close-up, hence reading glasses. From 60 on, peripheral vision gradually goes. However, from mid-50s short sight doesn't usually deteriorate further.

This was a public information message from Cheery Bastid

I've had the same prescription varifocals for 6 years.

There are many who will tell you that once you start wearing glasses your eyes start to deteriorate quicker. Personally, although I have started wearing them for driving, mainly at night, I would agree, though I suspect it's just that you suddenly realise how much you couldn't see when you didn't have them that makes you think your eyes are getting worse. when you don't wear them...

I had the same prescription from 22 until last year. 1.25 and 1.5.

Went for eye test a few months ago and they've improved a bit


But I bought 4 pairs last year on old script. Including bifocal sunglasses

Blue bin is covering a rose bush we want to keep alive.

Section furthest away will be getting levelled and having 4t of hardcore thrown at it before topping with “decorative’ gravel using timber as a retainer. Trench is for electrics for lights / double socket and Ethernet cable for cctv (if needed).

Balance to be sown to grass / paved (existing blocks being repurposed) once I’ve raked through the topsoil and distributed it across the lawn / borders.

Finished replacing the garden fence. 11x 6' panels all rotten to fuck. Four full height, seven with trellace tops. Had to dig out and replace 6 posts. Beer, dihydrocodene and a hot bath now. The Macedonian Tripe Hound enjoyed chewing the old posts...

Fancy some more practice up a hill in west west Wales?

While it was fun, it wasn’t that much fun!

Yoz / Cheb, you want one of these

Makes getting the valve through the rim a doddle.

[cheb]

I'll give one a go, thank you.

The missus noticed that I'd been working hard around the villa the last few days, so she took me to a scrummy Tex Mex on the sea front down in PdC.

Dead scrummy

Timed this to perfection, CHP was just behind me & shut down all lanes to get these clowns off to the side.

Today I had my first working from home incident. Chatting away on a video call with the cat asleep nearby I heard retching, the cat was throwing up on the floor in front of my desk. Then it threw up a couple more times whilst i pretended nothing was happening, after it moved by my feet to throw up i gave in and admitted the vomiting noises were coming from my end. After I managed to get the cat out of the room I spent another hour on the call trying not to put my feet in cat sick.
Annoyingly it was one of those rare meetings that I needed to pay attention to and talk a lot, usually I can turn off the mike and camera and nobody would care.

I got up extra early so I could go to the market and pick up pasties and still get to school on time

School was interesting as the teacher gave the other two some time to do an exercise then made me do two in a row without time to work it out!! Kinda flattering that he thinks I'm capable!!

Stopped at a friend's on the way home to drop off his pasties and have a chat, cuddle with his dog and a cuppa tea!!

Home and de-badgered my hair!! Possibly got a blind date (well, blind 'meeting for a socially distance takeaway coffee!!) on Saturday so thought I'd go back to pink properly! LOL

Now about to wrap my hair in cling film as it's too cold to go to sleep with wet hair, so I'm leaving the dye on overnight! lack of cling film will mean pink pillows!! LOL


Charging battery pack to make sure it's on full power to try and start the transit in the morning - need to move it briefly, so need to get it running so a friend can drive!!

Sorted out documentation for mortgage application. Getting our finances sorted so we can buy a house quickly.

Cooked a nice pork roast for the wife and son. I'm no longer a meat eater, but cans till cook it, so takes a burden off the wife.

Did dad's taxi for taking daughter to station and back.

Sorted out part of a sermon for next weeks service, might have to change it all if the scripture is different to lectionary.

Watched some Netflix and got bored with it all. Going to bed early... meh.

Today I.......




.....ended up in hospital. Chest pain a few days ago, "apparently" a repeat of pericarditis symptoms I've had a couple of times before which was confirmed as such at the time. On this occasion tho, ecg and bloods pointed in a different direction, so here I am in a cardio ward, awaiting an angiogram and whatever follows. That's a surprise. Lucky I didn't just assume I knew what it was, again. Onwards/upwards.
