No such thing as A mouse. Always more than one I'm afraid.

Our dog hasn't reacted to them yet so I'm assuming they aren't inside yet. No evidence, and the dog will go bananas. She is pretty good at catching them too, inside and out - they like our wood store.

Well I'm back from my local optician. Several hundred Euro poorer. Well I will be when I collect the glasses. Good job my health insurance will pay a chunk of the costs!

They are putting new lenses in my 12 year old granny glasses frames for reading, and I have bought a new pair for distance. First time I've needed distance glasses .

Not ready to go with bifocals just yet, but when I am they can be fitted into the new frames I have bought.
All Hoya glass.

I could have bought a K-x and with 18-55 an 50-200 for about the same price .

No evidence of mice here yet thank goodness. I shall set the traps though just in case .

I hate mice .

A long way from Worthing I'm afraid .

Some Dutch people would happily eat a certain octopus .

Another wet miserable day here.

Off for my eye test shortly.

I have an appointment to have my eyes tested tomorrow. I decided to go to an independent optician. It may end up costing me more, but I have more faith in them somehow, and will support the little business any day.
If I was in the UK perhaps I'd go to my brother - he's an optician, with his own shop.

Well I quite like it actually. It suits Gerri's colouring. It is old fashioned but maybe that is the new fashion?
I agree her lovely eyes aren't in focus though.

16C and very wet here today. No sign of that big yellow thing you are supposed to see in the sky in August .
At least we didn't get 70mm of rain yesterday like some parts of the Netherlands did.

I've also noticed the leaves are beginning to turn colour on the beech trees in our local woods .

Pm sent regarding 50-200 and Nat Geo bag .
