In other news?

I’m officially off to my opticians, this morning.

I’m convinced the trouble I’m having with my eyes … is something to do with my new spectacles.

Here’s hoping.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        I know the machines you mean, Olga.   From what I’ve understood, they’re usually prescribed, for free in the UK, to anyone with Type 1 diabetes.   Their sugar levels are more erratic than those of us with type 2, who have to buy these machines!   I’m going to have to see what happens, at Christmas time, I think.

        I’m planning to have a word with my GP, though: once I see — ha! — how the eye test goes.

        Oh, and my apologies about today’s Teaser video: my pronunciation is all over the place!

‡        Oh, Hamilton was involved with the original argument, Debbi?   At least you can sing about banks, then!   (Oh, the second video seemed relevant: although I don’t know where it’s from: and about the only thing I knew about Jefferson, was he promoted wine making in the US.   The Gallo Brothers owe him a vote of thanks, if that’s the case!)
