My glasses are crippled. This means I need a new pair in a hurry*. This means I need to get my eyes checked just in case the changes of this year have affected my prescription. There was precisely one appointment open at my rather wonderful optometrist* this week and that was late this afternoon. I'm being picked up by friends in a few minutes.

I'd better get a lot of work done in those few minutes. I'd better get even more work done before my pupils are dilated.

My work for this morning is a fascinating Icelandic novel.



* 'In a hurry' with my vision means - if I'm lucky - possibly late next week using the rapid service which gives people with normal corrections 2 pairs of glasses for the price of one all within an hour. My single pair costs a lot more and every time there is great excitement over my correction.
**This is the bloke who saved my life.
