I have three pair of glasses - one with Progressive/Transition lenses, one for far vision (for watching TV) and one for close up vision (for the Kindle and reading). The Progressive lenses are a no-line bi or tri focal and the transitions are the kind that turn into sunglasses. This system (three pairs of glasses) works well for me, because it's uncomfortable looking at the computer screen and having to tilt my head up or down to see clearly, so the close-up glasses work great for that. Same with the TV. I used to hate it having to tilt my head up or down to find a comfortable place to see the TV clearly and to have to stay in that position. Now, with the far vision only glasses, I can lean back, sit forward, be in almost any position and still see the TV clearly. It's a bit expensive, but the older you get the less your eyes change, so new glasses don't happen very often (unless your cat knocks them into the garbage and you put out the garbage not knowing your glasses are in there).
I'm the same.
Three pairs of glasses.
Sometimes all at once.

Hi, Roomies. Jacques has stopped eating and only wants to bask under her heat lamp. I’m very worried about her. There’s at least a possibility that I have caused her to have a Vitamin B deficiency (which makes them lose their appetite among other things) because the catfish that I gave her as the primary staple in her diet, contains an enzyme that destroys vitamin B. The other possibility, of course, is that she slowly developed an aspiration pneumonia after her near drowning in December.
I know we all make mistakes, but I just feel so bad. [emoji20] If I lose her, I WILL get another turtle, but I SO don’t want to lose my silly little diva. [emoji22]

Good morning all. Another early start for the last day of the trade show. I have talked to hundreds, if not thousands, of people from all over the world.

Great fun, but we have a stack of throat lozenges on the stand now! :D

I photographed the Monument yesterday! Where the great fire of London started in 1666

And last night we went to dinner at a restaurant in the O2... the Millennium Dome built for an exhibition in 2000, now a big events space with a cinema, bowling, night club and restaurants. We only ate...no energy for anything else.

You cross the docks and the river Thames on the cable car

You get a good view of the white O2 dome with Canary Wharf business district behind and to the right

Good evening all. The show is over and I’m home.... and the forum was down when I wanted to chat :( And geckotalk too :(

Anyway, as the Docklands Light Railway has been more than a little troublesome this week, I decided to change my route today which meant I used the cable car again today.

This morning was beautiful. It was sunny and peaceful... a bit chilly, but who cares?! :D

And this afternoon was wet, windy and rather scary on the way back as the cable car swung about!

Anyway, we had a brilliant time. Met lots of forum members and encouraged a lot more to join. So now I need to put my feet up and recover before our next event... the conference in May.
Most splendid! :)
But I would have cared about chilly!
Brrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a productive and fun time if rather hard work.

Yes, time to relax! :)

I also had the meerkat problem on and off for the past couple of days. :(
Wanted to share some signs of spring with you. (Although it will still be a while before it’s actually here.)
