Today I'll be "popping down*" to the local Opticians.

-=-=-

There's a whole rigmarole to get myself prepared for the relatively short walk.
In previous years we had "the big" opticians come out to do home visits, but they seem to do that "Well, you could afford x amount, last year, so now we're charging x*x amount!" thing that all home-visit scammers seem to like to do.
Instead, I'm off to the village optician, with the hope that I don't have to spend OVER £175 on a pair of smegging glasses.

The trip should be over by about lunchtime, but as with all days out, that'll be me wrecked for the next few hours.

Once I'm back to reality, I'll likely get back to that sliding-block puzzle thing.
I'll be honest, it's not progressed much in the past day or so!
Been too busy looking into this particular quirk.
Hmmm..

* Walking slowly and haphazardly, as I do, and mostly stumbling.
