Yesterday was an expensive day.

About two months ago I left my distance vision glasses on a bus. Or in the hospital. I don’t know which and neither organization has found them.

So I finally gave up and went to the optometrist. My glasses are always expensive, this time £200. Ker-ching! They will be ready in two weeks time. Meanwhile I am struggling on with my intermediate (computer) specs.

Then when I got home, I thought I would watch TV. April Fool, no you won’t. Your Freesat box has gone belly up, and needs replacing. So that’s another chunk of change.

Meanwhile, at least the cats are cuddly. So there is that.

Glasses are a pain in many ways, but necessary. I have two pairs with me at all times -- well, most times -- and that's what makes me a functioning adult in society. They also cost a bunch, similar to yours.

Take as read a diatribe about social or any other kind of health care somehow excluding our eyes and teeth, which are integral parts of everyone's body, from being its responsibility.

I am feeling very mean today toward society, but cuddling cats sounds like a good idea. I am doing much the same.
