(no subject)
I realised something really bizarre this morning, I can't eat if I am wearing glasses. I don't wear glasses and whilst I know that in really bright and sunny weather it is sensible to wear sun glasses, I seldom do, even to drive, as I believe I can't drive properly if I am wearing glasses either. Slowly but surely, my friends seem to be acquiring glasses, mainly just for reading, but it is inevitable that at some time in the not too distant future I shall need them. On the plus side it would appear that I would lose the weight I have been trying to shift for years, but on the minus side, I would no longer be able to function as a normal person.
At present I seem to be blessed with exceptionally good eyesight, I am often the only one who can read the menu on a far wall across a crowded pub and can also still read things close up. I have recently inherited a pair of 'Trayner Pinhole Glasses - for improved natural eyesight' basically they are lenses of black plastic with tiny holes cut into them, which if worn for 15 minutes per day supposedly give your eye muscles a work out and re-educate them to focus. So whilst they look totally gimpy - not least because they are fixed into thick 50's style frames - I thought I would give them a go and wear them every morning whilst I read my emails, catch up with lj and look at ebay which incidentally is also when I eat my breakfast, and that is how I came to realise I can't eat if I am wearing glasses!
