Once again I had to scrape ice from my car before leaving for work, I really don’t like it 🙂 Still it doesn’t seem to have been that cold in the garden because nothing looks frozen at all. I guess that my high hedge and the fact that my cottage and my neighbors cottage stays warm enough during the night to keep the frost away until the morning comes.
I left work a couple hours early today. I went to get my new contact lenses and wanted to try them for a couple of hours today so I would know what they were like. I don’t think it would have been a good idea to put them on tomorrow morning and then drive to work 🙂 🙂 These are test contacts, just to make sure they’ve made them right and I’ll have them until Monday two weeks when I’ll go to the optician again so we can see what I think of them.
They aren’t perfect, I can see clearly from about 60cm (15 inches) to around 3 meters (much the same in yards). Then there’s a long distance where everything is slightly blurry but I could see the trees on the mountain very clear 🙂 (a mile or so away). It can depend on the light because the lenses are most sharp for shorter distances like reading in the middle because when one reed there’s brighter light and the pupil will become much smaller. The sun shone really bright today so I guess my pupils were quite small all the time. It’ll be exciting to drive to work tomorrow morning when it still is quite dark 🙂
The lenses work really well together with the camera though, everything is sharp no matter what distance it is from me and the camera. I have no problems putting in lenses in my eye, old habits die hard or what they say but I did have huge problems getting them out 🙂 🙂 🙂 No matter what I did those lenses sat on the eye as if they were glued, no risk of them falling out by accident though 🙂 🙂 🙂 Then I remembered that one should always look up when picking them out. Didn’t take more than a second when I remembered that 🙂 🙂 But I think I need to buy eye drops because the air in the factory tends to be rather dry, except beside and inside the big washing machine and I’ll be working inside it tomorrow afternoon 🙂
I think it is time for a big cup with hot cocoa and perhaps a couple of digestives. I’m really tired today, don’t know why, so it’s a good thing I took out those lenses because the odds of me falling asleep in front of the tv are pretty low 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
It sounds like you’ll need a bit of adjustment in the lenses but otherwise they seem to be working well for you. It’s great that they work well with the camera lenses. I have never mastered the art of peering through a viewfinder or microscope with my glasses on. I should practice because I’ll probably have to use my distance glasses in the machine at my next driving license renewal.
There were thunderstorms and pouring rain here this morning. Of course I had an appointment right at the heaviest rainfall. There was still thunder and lightening in the area and I was concerned that it might zap me under my very big umbrella but it was fine. 🙂
No ice here yet although some folks a little bit north of me may be getting a bit of snow tomorrow. There’s a cold front coming through. This rain has just about zero’d out our drought. My lawn is still very brown, though.
Have a great evening.

Hi Caryn!
Yes they do need adjustments, both of them. Turns out that no matter the light I can see clearly in close distances but not far away unless it’s a mile or so away 🙂 🙂 🙂 and it really helps that they work great with the camera even though that can be adjusted fairly easy in the camera but it’s nice to not have to adjust the camera after if I have lenses or not 🙂
I’m not sure what You mean with the machine when it comes to Your license renewal?
It’s always nasty to walk with an umbrella when the thunder goes on 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thankfully no snow even remotely close to us and now we’ll have westerly winds and they are always much warmer but quite often brings rain instead. I’ll take the rain as long as it doesn’t freeze after 🙂 🙂
I haven’t mowed in a long time and even though the ground is dry as dust the grass is still long and green. I better start with the mowing and I hope those chilly nights have calmed down the will for the grass to keep on growing 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.
