FRIDAY - EYE TEST

 


I'm off to Spec Savers this morning to get an eye test done, then I can choose my new glasses frames.  After that, I have a two week wait for the new glasses to arrive.  In the meantime, I've been using my OLD as, one armed glasses from years ago.  Thank goodness I had kept them.

Lacy is coming over to drag me out walking again first thing.  How WONDERFUL.  It's freakin' freezing outside again.

Now.
How about a list of the possible names for me sewing room next.

- Dragons Den
- The Sanity Hub
- Crabby Quarters 
- The Scrap Yard

Let me know what's your favourite.  I'm really liking most on that list, so it's a bit difficult choosing.


ABOVE: Outside with Coco yesterday, and I just sat there in the sunshine... it was so lovely!  Way warmer outside than inside too.
This is going to be one of my favourite places over summer. 

Right, I am gunna read the news before getting up and starting the day.  


Lacy bailed on our walk this morning, so I went on me own.

ABOVE:  Very cold to start, but I soon warmed up.  Met a few other hardy souls out there, which was nice.

ABOVE: So many magical views along the river.

ABOVE:  And a fair few frosty patches, very slippery.  


ABOVE: A random boat, slowly cruising along.
He seemed to be focused on staying by the footbridge, no idea why.  

ABOVE: Today's walk stats.  Slightly longer today, but not by much.
I'm now going to do some housework, before heading off to me eye test.

I am editing out some names, and I might add a couple of new ones.  By the end of the day I am going to put all the names I really like into a 'hat' and get Stew to pull one out.

11.53 am. I go to Chartwell Square,  walk into Spec Savers 20 minutes early. Just as well I was early... my appointment was at The Base. What a twat. Off I go to The Base, get there with 2 minutes to spare.

5.54 pm. Stew just arrived home and commented that I had not updated since this morning.  Well he'd be right.
I got home from the eye appointment and just crashed.  Felt ikkk.  And OMG so cold.  So I put two hot pods on me lap, and a blankie, and just blobbed out.  For hours.  I was simply in a foul mood.

Bearing in mind my goddam CRABBINESS right now, I feel it is fitting to call my sewing space...


I was leaning towards The Scrap Yard for most of the day too.  But my room's name has to reflect ME... and yeah, I can get pretty damn crabby.   I try not to, but ... PEOPLE.  
People just annoy the fuck out of me more often than not.
I go out of my way to be NICE 99% of the time, so why can't other people do the same?

Right, enough bitching.  Stew's home so I might as well annoy him.
Catch ya tomorrow.

    I like the sanity hub, trying to keep it positive it's like your Zen Den or peace room, chill-out-space where it's a place to relax and unwind where all your creations come together

    Please tell us you are leaving your heat on all the time now, so you are not dealing with damp cold. It does not have to be high heat. A consistent low setting would probably change your pain/comfort considerably.

  24. Your walking path is so scenic. I can imagine how good you feel after being out in nature that is so beautiful. I can only imagine how it must look in warmer months.
