Rare Bird Alert News
Tundra Bean Goose at Sumburgh Farm.
A very angry phone call with COPART yesterday, who are actually worse than British Gas I've decided and that's saying something! They still insisted my car hasn't left the island. So I phoned Streamline, who confirmed my car left Shetland on the 11th February and arrived in Aberdeen on the 12th February. Long story short, I think its going to take a long time before I even get an offer for my car, never mind actually buying another car!
On Saturday I couldn't find my reading glasses and then discovered I had been sitting on them – they were only bent, but as I tried to slowly straighten them the frame snapped, so that's that! Boxes fallen down from the stack in my dining room when I returned home from work yesterday and this morning I woke up to my large clock smashed into smithereens on the kitchen floor – shards of fine glass everywhere.
My multi fuel stove is leaking black sooty water and that's because I have not lit it I was told. The reason I have not lit it is, because I wanted to get all my photography and computer gear out of the room into the office and I can't do that until the carpet is laid in the office etc.
Speed walked to Specsavers after work and of course my lovely Converse 52 frames are not available any more. Looked at other styles in the shop and didn't find a single pair that I liked and only had 12 minutes before they closed at 5pm anyway and just caught the bus home in time. Will try and Google to see if I can buy them elsewhere. A smooth week so far!!! 😒😐😉

ReplyDeleteAnd it was only Tuesday....
Hope the rest of the week goes gently and calmly!
I love the fact that you have a Speck-Saviours handy... I have great difficulty finding specs that I like... I don't like the frame interfering with my periferals... that means big glasses and modern fashion means little frames.... I usually end up buying womens' frames as you all seem to have the largest... and then, when the glasses need renewing... the frames have gone out of fashion.
I have two new sets of frames for the current glasses which were sunglasses that I had lenses put into. They were only 60€ a pair, too.... frames in France for normal glasses start at around the 200€ mark with lenses on top... my last pair cost over 500€ for the lenses... and no such thing as Specsavers in France... and only opthalmologists are allowed test vision and to prescribe!
I need to book an appointment, because 'scrips are only valid for three years and it takeseight months to see an optho! Also, once the three years are up, the opticians are not allowed to sell you glasses!!
It is a nightmare....
