Clean Bill of Health

[sherlock2040]

Eyes got a clean bill of health :) there's been a minor shift in the vision of my right eye but nothing to warrant a chance of prescription yet. It's quite a weird feeling when they show you the test chart and say "okay, now the second line" and you can only just about make out one of the letters... I wonder what it's like to have 20-20 vision, can

As one of those people with 20-20 vision, yes, I can see the bottom line on the eye chart. As of now. My right eye seems to be weakening a little when I'm tired, so I expect that five years from now I'll have some difficulty with the last line, lol.

(This is probably the reason why I don't like Russian Holmes needing reading glasses. The man shouldn't have worse eyes than I have.)

For some reason I'm jealous you can read the bottom line. I like Russian Holmes's reading glasses because he's clearly had his nose down a microscope too long and spent too long reading books with tiny writing! Plus it's just amusing thinking about how he manages not to loose them!

I was always convinced that the bottom line was really An Elaborate & Hilarious Prank Because Nobody Could Possibly Read It on the part of opticians everywhere, to either a) sneak swearwords onto the chart, b) convince people they need glasses when they don't, thus increasing profits tenfold or c) make all their customers slink away with a huge inferiority complex.

But I was wrong! *bows to elena*

About "podcast books": I got some books by Stephen King read by the author, but you will have to wait (if you want them) till I send you the X-mas package :-(. Also I have "The Now"satirical BBC shows and Jeeves and Wooster.

Do you want any of these?

[sherlock2040]

X-mas package? Ooh. You'll have to e-mail me your address so I can send you something :)

I'm all right for audio books, I have a small mountain of them, but thank you for the offer :)
