Five, or so, things make a post
Some months ago my dr rdrz may recall I was complaining that my phone battery was suddenly going down very fast. After several months of this, and following a recent software update, I find that it is pretty much back to the previous battery-life once charged. Go figure.

I have already been back to the opticians' twice to get my glasses adjusted as they hurt my ears/sides of my head. Will third time be the charm?

And on opticians, passed one today which was offering 'eyelid exfoliation', which sounds like the sort of thing Gwyneth Paltrow would be all over, no? But apparently it is a thing, I find when I google it. Foot of our stairs, I'll go to.

Noted in passing on Twitter, somebody complaining that those there straights were appropriating the terms 'partner' for their, well, partners in order to gain some kind of cool queer points or something? Way back in the 70s, my dearios, in the circles I frequented, it was rather the done thing to refer to one's person of opposite gender that one was in a relationship with as partner, on account of getting away from trad loaded terms like 'husband' and 'wife'. See also, the struggle for heterosexual civil partnerships for the same reason of getting rid of the baggage of centuries.

Talking of the baggage of centuries, I have lately been reminded of the Clitheroe case. But although it was then decided by the courts that a man might not kidnap his wife and keep her prisoner, it seems that the law in its wisdom in this year of grace says that a woman can still be trapped by a husband who wishes not to release her.
