| Last week I had an appointment with an optician one that was new to me. I changed because of the serious errors that the last one made. |
 |
I chose red frames as they are perfect for my temperament and skin tone. Mrs. H liked them because they made a statement. |
These are for reading and very like my old glasses.

I love the new red glasses, what do you think?
You look devishly handsome Grandpa Heron, that twinkle in your eye is beautifully framed x
ReplyDeleteThank you Snappy!
DeleteAs you are most likely aware it runs in the family too..... :-) xx
They both look great on you Mel. Do they let you see things that your old glasses didn't? Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Gwen and I am seeing a certain gender in a new light too !
DeleteI like the red frames - very stylish!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue, I thought so too :-)
DeleteYou look terrific in red frames! Excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteStrangely the receptionist was a little disturbed at my choice, I can only think that perhaps she thought I was too old for gaiety ;-)
Deleteperfect! Glasses are such an extension of ones personality and you've chosen aptly! Well done. They will excuse happiness, fun and mischievousness even when you aren't feeling that way.
ReplyDeletePeople are typically so conservative with their specs like that safe pair of black shoes rather than the sparkly ones that made them feel alive.
Love the shades too xx
Grace, I am proud to know you and to know that have such an understanding perception of that which matters most!
DeleteThank you for your contribution :-) xxx
Hi Mel - well I'm glad you feel happier after your optician change ... those coloured rims do look good - handsome lad! I like seeing the different colours ... still can't quite get to grips with the thick rimmed ones ... but as I don't wear them except when I'm doing computer work or serious reading ... I can still manage - I'm lucky. The dark ones indoors make you look fairly spivvy ... a worry!? Cheers and enjoy the weekend ... Hilary
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments Hilary. I have been wearing spectacles since I was forty-two. I blame years of producing fine line accurate drawings of engineering components - that is if any blame needs to be apportioned ;-)
DeleteLove those frames - they look great on you :-) xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Teresa, me thinks that I shall have to be very careful of who I turn my charms on too won't I ? :-) :-) xxx
DeleteOh Mel, this did make me laugh!!
ReplyDeleteI also chose red frames, for exactly the same reason! When I showed them to the optician (who had expertly steered me towards a more expensive display) he suggested that really that rack was for teenagers. My reply was that I felt like a teenager inside so they were just right. I love them.
Incidentally - I like the way you made the type larger towards the end of your post -rather like sitting in the optician's chair; I really had to strain to read the first few lines.
Well, good for you in choosing frames to reflect the real you; I get really annoyed with the ageists who try to fit me into a dullness of their own making. On the other hand my gents outfitter sold me a pair of salmon pink trousers yesterday and not a murmur of dismay was uttered.
DeleteOh dear me Pat and here was me thinking that I was unique !!!
Oddly the type face size does not change on my blog. So am mystified by your remark.
Hello there!!
ReplyDeleteI would say that those frames tells a lot about you, the youth within, you know! Glasses is an issue for me as well and my eyesight has all but improved lately. I'm off today to at least get started. I wouldn't dare make such a bold choice as you have Mel, but I am glad that YOU did!! Sometimes we need to define or redefine ourselves, and there are many ways to do that, outer and inner. I love your posts and your comments, since I don't know you for real, they define at least an ounce of who you are, as do your poems! I agree with Weaver that some people love to define us by our age, making the world narrow!!! Go out there with mrs H and the lovely dog and shine!!!!
Thank you FT, perhaps I understand why you cannot wear bright frames for your congregation and associate ministers might frown.
DeleteUnlike my druids who will only applaud me !
I love funky glasses, so well done on selecting them-they look great Mel.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I think Weaver of Grass comment on the font is because when you add captions to photos the font does come out very small-so it looks different to your normal post text...hope that makes sense!
Ok right I had not realised that there was a text shrinkage on captions Suzie. In which case I will return to what I did previously.
DeleteGlad you like Funky so do I and Weaver too :-)
You look GREAT in those red glasses!
ReplyDeleteActually not intending to be vain Mitchell , I know ;-)
Deletevery snazzy Mel :)
ReplyDeleteGo raibh maith agat
DeleteThey make a strong statement, you're to be taken seriously.
ReplyDeleteYou better believe it !
DeleteThank you :-)
I love love love the new specs!!
ReplyDelete(and is that a hint of a smile, too?)
Thanks Carol (the smile of satisfaction)
DeleteVery smart indeed, Mel! I like the twinkle in the eyes behind those cheerful red frames too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Val !
DeleteI think you are very brave to be flirting with me knowing that Mrs H is going to read this :-) :-) xxx
Those new red framed glasses really suit you! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah, Mrs H totally agrees with you too :-)
