Nice to hear from you Martyn. Happy anniversary! Sometimes it is good to get away and relax (as everyone tells me!) I hope you have a wonderful time at the celebration.

I have my eye test next Wednesday, as it turns out. I have been waiting for almost two months on the appointment. I already have bifocal contact lenses, but need readers on top of them. I am told it is difficult to get the powers for both long distance and close work perfect so the readers are the answer. At least I can see that way though. At first I thought it was my cutting that was going.

As for the shoe, I am not very far on mine either. Too much was happening here lately and I just couldn’t take the time. Hopefully I will catch up in the next week or so. You need to follow your inspiration and run with it while it is there. I am excited to see your new parquetry designing and I am sure it will be wonderful.

I just wanted to say ‘hi’. Have a great weekend!

Trevor, just had a thunderstorm. Not promising.

Sheila. Same problem here. They had a BOGOFF (buy one get one free) at my opticians. So I’ve got two different frames. One with distance lenses, the other close work.

Thanks, Chip.

I actually have bi-focal contact lenses and my optician said that the dollar store readers would do fine to pick up the slack. I have used them for about a year now and I don’t know how I lived without them. I got several pairs (usually under $5 each) in cute and funky colors and if I misplace them there is another pair somewhere in the vicinity. I wear the regular glasses in the early morning and evening, to give my eyes a rest.

Have a good one! Sheila

Happy Anniversary Martyn. I have just reached the bi-focal age myself. A couple months ago, I was trying to read some serial numbers from a machine and thought I went blind. I took off my glasses and everything was crystal clear. Time for me to get some prescription shop glasses for close work. Enjoy the party and we all look forward to the posts ahead.

Hey Brit. Nice to hear from you.

Glasses. I never needed them until I was 45, but 10+ years later I can not function without them. I switched from reading glasses, to bi-focals, and now I use Varilux. The Varilux lenses are amazing multi-focal babies.

So nice to hear about your anniversary. I really like the idea of couples helping each other throughout life.

What ho BritBoxer! Fascinated to learn you work for Mole Valley Farmers. Before coming to Canada I farmed for 60 years in Surrey and ordered sheep kit and various other items all the way from Torquay simply because they were either not locally available, or cheaper at Mole Valley. I was introduced to you by John Bartelous (whom you may remember) who used to farm Romney sheep in Devon and now operates the largest sheep clipper mail order business from Sussex. I believe Mole Valley have now bought up my local Surrey suppliers at Nutfield, which can only be a good thing. As for the eyes. I have had both cataracts fixed and can now read the computer screen at 10 feet distance! So happy anniversary! best.

Happy Anniversary Martyn and Sue! It is nice to spend the years together with ups and downs like the black and white boxes you had but within those 15 years and years to come, all of you will remain sticking together as one. I know it is in you who is an expert in constructing pieces to become one and so with your life. Have many more to come….

You are still blessed with your eyes… I have my glasses (now progressive lens) since 2nd year high school. You just take care for the little adjustments. You will fill that the sides of lines are bent in an arc form and may cast different focus. You need now to move your head to get the real focus. Sheila has more advantage… she has the patience of wearing those contact lens … I had once used contact lens but I am lazy to take it out before sleep so I stay on the glasses.

I can imagine how beautiful are those parquetry that keeps you busy. Post some pictures even without words (music sounds best when played without lyrics). I am anxious to see.. can’t wait..

God bless and more blessings to come to you and Sue…

Enjoy the party.
