seeing the light

About 18 months ago I started wearing glasses all of the time; it's not that I can't see well without them, just that everything (especially smaller writing and faces at a distance) is harder to focus on and has slightly blurred edges without them.  But last summer I trod on my glasses and the frames (not surprisingly) didn't live to see the end of the tale.

Since then I have had an eye test and tried several times to pick out new glasses without ever quite making it to the buying stage.  But today the saga was finally brought to a close when YKW, tiring of the fact that I keep on moving the sofa closer to the TV, forced me into a shop and helped me pick out a new pair.

So no more blurred images and tonight we even watched a film without moving the sofa!
