The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

Hot happy. Just collected my new glasses, varifocals as normal. Up close theyre lovely, but distance theyre no better than the naked eye. Wouldn't feel comfortable driving in them.

The cost me £600 and I went to a small opticians in the hope of a better product (the wat Specsavers cut their lenses leaves too small a field of view to read comfortably) and I'm very disappointed.

The optician isn't in today so im back next week to see what's gone wrong. The only good news is they're only a 10 minute stroll away so it won't waste huge swathes of time or fuel.

Been using specsavers varifocal for years, but I get the "eleat range" which works up and down and side to side.
Normal ones only do up and down, never had any problems with them even from day one

I have always been happy with Specsavers but ours is difficult** for me to get to as there is absolutely no parking.
So, about 6 months ago I decided to try Specsavers Home Service which is a totally separate company.
The result is truly awful.
I have no confidence in them so will put it down to experience.
** I have just found out there is blue badge parking which I can walk to with my stroller.

We have 4 1,000 litre water tanks hooked up to the log store ( it's got a big roof) . They were nearly empty but after the steady rain we had yesterday and all last night, they are now full again.

Good Morning All
Today is my last day of employment!
I have to go into the office to return my laptop, etc. and then I'll be officially retired at 15.30.

I got a nice collection and a bottle of Wild Turkey 101. I'll try to make it last.
