Can’t Captcha this

I refuse so far to use the audio option.
I don’t even think people with some good old 20/20s can see these.
This… Just blumming these things… Arghhh…
Click them all and hope for the best.

Touch too much

I’ve started to feel objects more in the last few months.

With the remote control, I have remembered where the most used buttons are and just feel for them without looking now. You have to feel for the top big button though to make sure it’s the right way around.
Coins are OK if they are 50ps (large) or pounds (different colour).
The rest I feel whilst looking. The edges mostly and the top.
Stuff in a bottle or can. I use my nail to feel to little hole to make sure it’s facing them way I want. Perfume in the eye stings.
Washing machine has a dial which has a raised line at the edge to pick a washing cycle.
I know if I feel it and it’s at ‘quarter past’ that’s the one I want.
Not consciously learnt behaviour. Out of necessity.
These are a clever idea. Bump dots
Lots of different uses. From sticking on your washing machine, cup to control water, bottles etc. Whatever helps you. Shampoo bottles would be my first thing. Why can’t manufacturers pop a little bump on the bottles so I don’t keep conditioning my hair all the time by accident?
I will definitely be getting these when the time comes.

Arts and crafts

One of the hobbies I loved was drawing and painting.

I haven’t done it for a long time as I really don’t know what I’m facing.
I will have a go one day as there are some subjects that I want to paint.
Another is embroidery. I made a sampler when my son was born and a few little bits afterwards. I have got a kit of a galloper horse. Quite a big one but I’ve had it a while and want to complete it myself. I must find a way round it.
I’ve thought of using a big magnifier and just doing a little bit at a time as to not stress my eyes out too much.
Hopefully I can stay calm, not get frustrated and upset and just go with it. Breath…
Will probably start on this before any paintings as I think time is of the essence right now with something like that.
Also, I’ve considered just taking any paintings as they are. Whatever they turn out like.
They maybe not to the standard I would want. Or what went before. Lines and keeping things straight are going to be a problem.
I’m scared to try it but can’t put it off any longer really. You never know, with abit of patience and concentration they might even be the same ☺
