1) A couple of hours after my appointment, I receive a phone call from the optician to say that she had managed to locate the frames I wanted and will have them couriered up overnight from the other store. This means that my new glasses should be ready before we go on holiday 🙂 .
2) I discover that the reason the coating on my current glasses has failed is too much baking! Apparently repeated exposure to extremes of temperature (the steam escaping from the oven when the door is opened), can damage the coating. So, I either need to a) get contact lenses; b) stop baking (K informed me this was not an option!); or c) look away when as I open the door until the steam escapes!
3) My headache persists through the evening, and K brings me dinner, drugs (migraleve) and tea. Thanks my love xxx.
