Oh no! I keep a spare pair in my desk for just such emergencies! Maybe you can get some readers at Boots if that's all you need (as opposed to a special prescription).
Oh bugger! I remember forgetting my glasses one day. By the end of the day I had such a banging headache - my arms weren't long enough! Time to keep a spare pair in your locker at work, or in the car. xx
You may want to call your optician,even if they're not open today,leave a message to order a new lens for those glasses,and order a spare set of glasses to keep in your car,Mary
I suppose it is o comfort to say - we have all done that at one time or another. Trouble is, that lesson is never learnt. even if you get those string things that keep them 'safe' round your neck when not wearing them!
I assume your specs are for reading only, in which case get thee to a poundland lad. Get 10:pairs and put them in your glasses tin (I remember you saying you had a tin for glasses, I adopted that)
I used to have them in every room and still couldn’t find them when needed. I, therefore, adopted the glasses tin John mentioned a while ago. I now try and move the glasses to the tin when I see them. I still have the escaped ones round about the house but can generally find a pair in the tin when in a rush.
Oops! I'm presuming you've tried to snap the glass back in, unsuccessfully? I knocked my glasses off as I closed the car door, and the car parking next to me went right over them ... definitely beyond repair! I do hope you didn't end up with a gigantic headache by the end of your shift.
She has said that Covid is "still taking it's toll" so I think any visits would be very tiring for her just now. Perhaps wait until she's recovered. Knowing Weave she would say yes of course do come. It would be exhausting for her and would be kinder to wait until she's properly better.
You have my sympathy john. I had brilliant vision for years then suddenly needed glasses and now I'm absolutely dependent on them for everything. And the price of a new pair ( varifocals ) in my case - horrendous Alison in Wales x

ReplyDeleteYikes! I did that once, so I feel your pain. After that lesson, I never again put my glasses down on a sitting surface.
ReplyDeleteOh bugger! I remember forgetting my glasses one day. By the end of the day I had such a banging headache - my arms weren't long enough! Time to keep a spare pair in your locker at work, or in the car. xx
ReplyDeleteWhere's the lens? If it's in one piece, you could probably just pop it back in.
ReplyDeleteAs long as your vision's still good enough to spot an abandoned scotch egg....
ReplyDeleteOuch, in more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteYou may want to call your optician,even if they're not open today,leave a message to order a new lens for those glasses,and order a spare set of glasses to keep in your car,Mary
ReplyDeleteOh, NO! How inconvenient. Hope you can get 2 new pairs of glases asap.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Damn! Hate it when I do that.
ReplyDeleteOh no John - What are you like x
ReplyDeleteThe picture made me laugh. You've got the right finger...
ReplyDeleteDo you have an old pair you can use for a bit? Better than nothing, until you get your new pair - maybe order 2 pair?
ReplyDeleteI have done that too.
ReplyDeleteBut still better then leaving your false teeth on a chair. Talk about getting bit on the ass.
Why were your glasses on the chair?
ReplyDeleteI suppose it is o comfort to say - we have all done that at one time or another. Trouble is, that lesson is never learnt. even if you get those string things that keep them 'safe' round your neck when not wearing them!
ReplyDeleteThe worst!! So sorry.
ReplyDeleteLet us know you get home safely! I always keep spare glasses in my car.
ReplyDeleteLizzy d
I feel for and with you.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you know! How inconvenient, at work and all. I hope you have a back-up pair to carry you until you buy new or repair the old frames.
ReplyDeleteI assume your specs are for reading only, in which case get thee to a poundland lad. Get 10:pairs and put them in your glasses tin (I remember you saying you had a tin for glasses, I adopted that)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that..... I have Poundland specs in every room of the house! ( They have gone up in price though...now £1.50 !)
DeleteI used to have them in every room and still couldn’t find them when needed. I, therefore, adopted the glasses tin John mentioned a while ago. I now try and move the glasses to the tin when I see them. I still have the escaped ones round about the house but can generally find a pair in the tin when in a rush.
DeleteHow frustrating that is.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you popped the lenses right out. Did they crack?

ReplyDeleteOh no! It's so frustrating, especially when you are at work!
ReplyDeleteCrud! That must have been a frustrating shift.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I see you asking Weaver whether she is up for a visit. I think that would be an awfully kind thing to do, if you can pull it off. Good luck 🤞
ReplyDeleteShe has said that Covid is "still taking it's toll" so I think any visits would be very tiring for her just now. Perhaps wait until she's recovered. Knowing Weave she would say yes of course do come. It would be exhausting for her and would be kinder to wait until she's properly better.
DeleteIt’s not feasible but we had fun talking about it
DeleteShould have had your glasses on John.
ReplyDeleteYou have my sympathy john. I had brilliant vision for years then suddenly needed glasses and now I'm absolutely dependent on them for everything. And the price of a new pair ( varifocals ) in my case - horrendous

Oh what a silly billy!
