Random Irritations

I’m wearing my contact lenses a lot more these last few months and I’ve run out of the one for my right eye. Tsk.

OK I’m just going to have to wear my glasses, but as we are heading up London later today - meal this evening plus overnight stay as making a two day occasion of it for our 30th tomorrow (I know - how has she managed that you might well ask) with long overdue visit to Westminster Abbey and shopping for a nice piece of jewellery tomorrow - plus with a bit of rain about that would these days be two days for my contacts as my glasses lenses have got a bit scuffed...drat!

Have you tried just one in your left eye? I use the mono-vision system so correction in right eye for distance only. Get the best of both worlds as close up work is fine as brain works out which eye to use for which.
 
Trying to send a group text to the members of my football team to see who's coming for a kickabout on Wednesday, I spend time creating the group and adding everyone to it - 23 members. When I go to send the message it says you can only add 20 people at once. What is the point of the contact group then? Grrr.

It doesn't work. Replies in the WhatsApp group just get lost amid Euros discussion and other nonsense. Half the people never even see my message before it's swept away. I even tried a WhatsApp 'broadcast' last week and several people said they didn't even receive it so can't trust that either.

I am right eye dominant and so for my left I have close vision and distance vision lenses. I have distance only for right. As you say Brain works out which eye to ‘use’ according to what I want to do - and in fact I could do without left close but it does help a little. But no right eye lens is an issue but I will try using distance lens in left and nothin in right and see how well my brain does sorting things out.

Update...just been out and about with only left eye lens in. And that works well enough. Probably because though I am right eye dominant my left eye vision is quite a bit worse - so sort left eye and brain seems to go with it.

Road signs being obscured by overgrown shrubbery, hedges, trees, etc etc.
If it warrants putting a sign up in the first place, then it warrants keeping it legible, otherwise save the money from making and erecting the sign and add to the pot saved by not cutting said shrubbery, hedges, trees etc etc.

And likewise signs indicating speed cameras but not indicating the speed limit for that stretch of road...when quite often they do. Yes I know we all should know speed limits but if you are going to put up a sign showing speed cameras why not just include the speed limit on the sign.
 
Mrs d has an appointment at the hospital.
I’m supposed to working and my step daughter is at home doing nothing

Guess who’s sat in the car near the hospital?

I did it for a while when my right eye was damaged. Interesting to see how often you tilt your head to aid the dominant eye - only noticable when it tilts the wrong way!
 
Low cloud meaning I can hear, but not see the F15s flying over my house.
