I've mentioned the various incompetencies of specsavers before, in great detail... and I had sort of been hoping that it was just the Kings Heath branch being crap.
Apparently not so much.
Last month I went for an actual eye test. That started badly when, after 50 minutes sat in the waiting area, I thought I'd go and ask how much longer I'd be waiting. Only to discover that they'd actually forgotten I was there. Great.
Eventually got my eye test, which was fine. Left eye slightly worse, but not really much, and not enough to necessitate new glasses unless I wanted a... continue reading »
I tore a contact lens the other day. Or rather, I went to put it in and noticed it was ripped, dunno how it happened.
Bit annoying, as that's only two weeks into its month of life, but there we go.
It then occurred to me that I haven't had a new lot of lenses yet. (get a batch through the post every 3 months, the last arrived beginning of December)

Swimming is an odd one though. I used to hate it so much when I was younger, to the point of skiving off all the swimming galas and conveniently forgetting my kit... But now I quite like it. Probably because now there's no one shouting at me about it, and no 'friends' threatening to drown me because they think it's some hilarious joke.
