Women holding blurred coins in hand

Debit cards and using cash are frustrating now.
For a while I’ve had to feel the shape if I’m not sure. Or just pay in pound coins or 50ps as they are easier to fathom.
If I’m feeling rushed… As in there is a big cue waiting, I would always hand over a note.
So, that means there is always lots of change weighing me down.
I’m getting rid of this by using coins at the shop, when it isn’t busy and there is only me or another person in there. I have time to concentrate and just tell myself to think ☺
This was mostly before our current situation. The Virus.
The little shop near me now prefers card payments to keep the rate of infection down. They have a screen up and there’s only 2 people allowed in the shop at one time with the shopkeeper.
The card machine is hard to see and usually I’m stood there and my pin number is wrong or I’ve pressed the wrong button. Press yellow to clear they tell me.

Eye test appointment

Posted on by One Vision

Well, Boots opticians have sent me a letter saying that my eye test is now due.

I’m quite excited to get new glasses, because it always feels like my eyeballs have had a wash ☺

It was 2 years ago since my last test for reading glasses.

I posted a few weeks back to say I needed them testing again, as I can tell these aren’t as effective nowadays as they once were, due to the fact that a few times I’ve been puzzled why I can’t read, wonder where my glasses are, when they’re actually on my face.
The local branch is now open again. With all the safety measures in place.
⚪ Come on your own if possible.
⚪ A limited amount of slots per day.
⚪ Social distancing inside and outside the shop.
⚪ Wear a mask.
⚪ By appointment only no walk-ins.
I’ve also screenshot some styles that I like so I’m not hanging around in there more than I have to. Not necessarily for me but for the staff there. They have to meet umpteen people a week, so safer for them if I\’m not daudling picking everything up.
They will be tortoiseshell. #standard… (don’t panic… fake I might add) As they always are and have been since I started wearing glasses ☺
So that’s what I intend to do this week is book an appointment.
It will be interesting to see what my visual acuity is now.
I know with the condition I have, at the opticians they cannot pick up the blind spots whilst testing so the reading isn’t as exact as when I’ve had all my tests done at the hospital.
Which I’m still waiting for the upshot of all that by the way… #cliffhanger.
