New glasses on the way!

This afternoon, vatine and I wandered down to Specsavers. We should both have new glasses and sunglasses in 10 days. Yay!

I was, indeed, blind as a bat with my current prescription. When it has gradually reached the point that I notice I'm having trouble reading, it's pretty bad. *shakes head* I'll be glad to see better again, and hopefully get fewer headaches!

The optometrist didn't even mention my eyes tracking oddly (yeah, they've always done this, and they keep referring me to my GP), and we got very good service on the optician side. The frame selection was a bit more limited by my wanting to get a wider vertical lens area without frame designs aimed at old ladies, basically. (Enter the big, flat face.) But I liked the third or fourth choice trotted out, and it looked like they should stay up OK once they got a rough bridge adjustment. :) Same with the sunglass frames. I'm used to doing more browsing on my own, but this was fairly quick and painless.

Ingvar picked his in under five minutes, the same aviator style in different colors. Handy, knowing your definite preferences there. ;)

I'll probably post pics once they're here.

Then we went by a Waterstone's and came out with more books than we really needed, and I dragged him into Boots after more hair stuff. (A Denman D3 | brush, in this case.) This detour apparently did not come as a great surprise. *wry smile*

At the moment, he's out getting some Maxercise. I was feeling a little too gimpy to go along, but am very glad Max is getting tired out some!
