What a crap week that was

Title says it all really. Another boring week in a continuous stream of boring weeks. Highlight of the week – eye test on Monday. My opticians, D&A, were recently bought by the Boots chain, and since they already had a store in Bolton they closed my D&A branch. Luckily, the same optician I’ve visited for the last 10 years, Rachel, transferred. I’m not a fan of change – I’m a bit odd like that. B-Rook-C1-140This is my first eye test since the MS diagnosis – I was given a much more thorough exam than I’ve had before. Lots of machinery involved, including digital imaging of my eye, which showed a very healthy optic nerve – nothing to worry about.
My new glasses should be ready Monday or Tuesday – so there’s next week’s highlight sorted.
The picture to the right are the frames I ordered as my main pair. I got a second pair free, but couldn’t afford to get slimmer lenses so had to get standard metal frames, similar to my present ones, but black rather than gold.
brutus-best-manAnything else good last week? nah. TV was a bit light – got a few episodes to watch still, 24 and FlashForward, and the return of Supernatural.  I spent the week watching crap on Hulu, and playing Lord of Ultima. If you have access to Hulu, check out this – a fantastic story about Yellowstone’s grizzlies. Watched it this morning and was glued to the screen – stunning animals. The picture to the left is Brutus, Casey’s “pal”, best man at his wedding – Casey, the presenter, employs Brutus to give us up-close examples of grizzly behaviours he shows us in the wild.
OK, fed up of typing now, ttfn.

Sorry you've had such a crappy week Michael, I hope life looks up for you soon. Thanks for the link to the Grizzly video, I really enjoyed the show. You aught to consider coming here for a visit. I'd love to show you around Yellowstone :)
