100% Optical Show at the Excell in London with Work

A day out with all the team.  So many laughs and lots of fun as well as trying on lots of frames.  So lucky to work with such a fabulous group of people. 

Arrived in London with the sun shining.  

 


  
Got a love a free tote bag!
Jackie and I managed to find the most expensive frames, retail at 2,500pds, but you do get a free handbag with them!

Yet more free bags, the bigger the better!

My haul of goodies to take home to Mya and John.  Enough pens to keep us going for a while!

What’s This Shining Yellow Ball in the Sky?

After weeks of rain the sun decided to show its face today. So wonderful to be able to get the cushions out and sit down under the pergola, heaven.

Hair Cut

Managed to squeeze in a change of hair this morning. Can’t believe how much it’s grown. Pretty short now tho, but I love it.

Another Operation for John

Following his ankle fusion in mid 2024, John has suffered extreme pain in his foot. Very different from his arthritic pain but still debilitating. 

His surgeon felt that the upper part of his ankle bone had not vascularised around the pin and so suggested one pin being removed and a larger one put in. 

So today he went into St Richards for another day surgery. 



After looking at the X-rays it appears that the surgeon removed the old smaller screws and added 3 larger ones. 

He’s now got a big boot on and 6 weeks signed off work.  So hoping this will reduce his pain.
