All the leaves I had meticulously raked into a pile by the side of the road had mysteriously disappeared. Well not really, I knew instantly what had happened, they were evenly distributed over Larry’s front lawn. That’s the result of the windy conditions that have hit Holland. Poor man he had to get on his mower and start all over again.
Yesterday the last nose pad on my glasses fell off. I have only had one for the past year, and the frame would slowly slide down my nose which was really annoying when I had to look down at something. When the last one bit the dust there was nothing to grip my nose, making them impossible to wear.
Now the problem was to find an optician who could repair them. The glasses were manufactured by Lindberg, so I looked on line for the nearest stockist. The nearest being quite a distance away.
Kelli volunteered to call the optometrist in the town called Globe. They did repairs which was promising. I drove into town hoping they might be able to fix them. As I walked into the shop I approached an older man, and explained my problem. He immediately recognised the make and took my glasses off to his work bench. Fifteen minutes he was back with my glasses fully restored, and what was amazing about the experience was, he didn’t charge me for doing it. That was like winning the pools, nothing is free here, and I had to check my ears to make sure I was hearing correctly, that made my day.
I scrapped another part of the bookcase, I decided to do one piece a day so I didn’t get bored with it. The paint is tough and requires a lot of down force to remove it, and I cannot have too much of a good thing.
