Spectacular

Recently I have done a small amount of sewing and I found that I can no longer thread a small eyed needle without holding it out at arms length, squinting and sticking my tongue between my teeth so I thought I'd better get an eye test.  My distance vision is still 20/20 (just) but it seems that both eyes are going a bit with the close up stuff so I need reading glasses.

It was a very strange experience and on reflection I think that perhaps I should have just gone home, but after my eye examination I was led off to choose frames for my new glasses.  This may seem like a good idea except for the fact that I'd just had eye drops to dilate my pupils and I couldn't actually see anything clearly unless it was over 50 feet away.  So I'm wandering around the shop with a very nice lady who is putting glasses on me and saying "oh that's nice, or do you prefer one that's rounder?" and "how about these in a different colour" and I just couldn't see anything.  I ended up taking a box of 5 pairs home to try out and frankly they all look pretty much the same.

I have asked Tom what he thinks but I don't know if a man is really the right person to consult and the kids were not very useful (Jacob said I looked like a mad scientist and Rose likes all of them)  so I had Jacob take photos of me in 3 pairs and you can tell me what you think.  Here we go...

How about this pair

These make me look like a librarian

I feel like Sue Pollard in this last pair.  Vote now for your say, I have to take them back tomorrow.
