I can see clearly now

My new spectacles arrived today - hurrah! I've been making do with an eight year old pair over the last few weeks which have been better than nothing, but the difference with the new pair is really quite remarkable. After trying them on I wandered around the streets a while, gazing at the sights with newfound clarity. It made me realise just how great an impact all the minute scratches and smears that inevitably come to infect all spectacle lenses have. I'll try to appreciate the pin sharpness of the world around me before the rot sets in. The next few days should provide ample opportunity for that.

Tomorrow morning I depart for London again. It's a slightly extended visit this time, since my presence was requested for the company Christmas party tomorrow, and the department Christmas party on Monday evening - I arrive back late on Tuesday. I probably shan't be posting much during that time. I've not yet lined anything up for the weekend itself (though I suspect some Christmas shopping may be on the menu), but Friday night shall be take by Patrick Stewart's one man rendition of A Christmas Carol. I've heard good things about it in the past and am rather looking forward to it.

Anyway, I've am early start tomorrow so I'd best be off. Catch up with you soon.
