I gripped!

Now I have two bionic eyes.  The right one has had a real struggle as the only glasses I had for close work, i.e. painting and reading stuff on the computer was totally useless for the new cataract.  I have had quite a lot of uncomfortable eye strain in that eye. Also a lot of neck strain as I bent the neck to try and see clearly.... So at last I now have the proper glasses.  Collected today.  "We wont need to test your eyes now for two years."  My response to the child who fitted me up was, "If I am spared."  Ha.

The reading/magnifying glasses.  The right eye went into shock.  For a while now, after a couple of hours of using computers, painting etc. no discomfort at all.

And the buy one get one free Sunglasses, which are basically clear dark glass but with a bit of a lens alteration for astigmatism(?)  Which I never knew I had..... Anyway both fine.  

Although the wind was blowing 20 mph plus,  after collecting the glasses I went to the Prom.  Bravely I left the chariot in the car.  Walked to the railings, clung on, and took photographs.

Loads of Gull Gang members.

That is a Lesser Black Backed Gull, one of many returning, from wherever they go, in the Winter.

This boat is a support vessel to the Oil/Gas platforms out in the North Sea.  Sheltering in our bay due to the strong winds.

Back home and into the shedudio here is Hoover making a reappearance.  No tufts on his head so not really into the mating game....

So - back to GRIPPING .  This morning I did my pulmonary physio exercises. Tick.  I did the minutes for Fraserburgh Art Group meeting in March. Tick.  Got my glasses Tick, collected a prescription, Tick.  

I think I am about gripped on most things now, til I look again at my list.....It is Friday night.  Had a lovely steak, apologies to vegetarians, which includes most of my daughters, now at least one glass of red wine.  So probably losing the grip.
