Eye Appointment
Drove to Bromley for my eye appointment on Wednesday. Was dubious about doing so as I have never driven into Bromley before and had no idea where The Glades' car park was. Then I had a genius idea. I zoomed in on Google map satellite view to the point where I could see the road markings so I could work out which lanes to be in when and the location of the car park. I then managed to get there despite getting stuck behind a tractor (much to my disbelief) and negotiating a lorry that was blocking the left lane. I also managed a multi storey car park for the first time. I was too far away from the machine on the way in and had to get out to press the button but was perfect distance on the way out.
Eye appointment was a bit wierd. Neither of the pre test machines were working so I hope I don't have glaucoma as I won't find out for another 2 years. The optician was a bit wierd. He kept saying "your the boss" when I told him which options I could see better, talking to himself saying "yeah we'll carry on with this" and didn't seem to know what he was doing. I was pleased I didn't "oh you've replaced that basic torch in the eye procedure with this new machine" because he used the torch-eye method later. I was very proud that I didn't laugh through that bit because I normally laugh continually through that bit. He said he hadn't seen anything nasty but didn't say it in a way that he was convinced.
The optician got the Natural History Museum and Science Museum mixed up. I had thought better of someone in a scientific profession. I let it go when he said he loved the gems best but had to step in when he mentioned the dinosaurs.
I am very excited about getting my new glasses. The woman was great. She chose lots of options and decided whether they suited me. Then she played about with the camera so I could see myself from all sorts of angles before making my decision. It was BOGOF so I have a green one and an orange one.
