New sunglasses

The first 30-something years of my life, I didn't have prescription sunglasses. But when I learned to drive I wanted to change that. I went to the optician and got me a pair. And that pair has been serving me until now. That's quite impressive! My prescription didn't change very much over the years. And I never lost them or broke them. Until in the end, I did. They fell off my head and I accidentally stood on them. They broke. But they owed me nothing. They had served me for 17 years! 

The old (broken) pair

It was time to buy a new pair. So when teaching came to an end and I was less rushed, I went to Specsavers. And a week later, I could pick the new pair up.

They're quite comfortable! I hope this pair will also serve me for 17 years or so. It would be great if my prescription isn’t meaningfully different after that time. And I again manage to be careful with them for many years. One way to find out!

Prescription 

In the same week I went to Halfords, because I was running out of puncture patches. And when I was there anyway and I saw a comfortable pair of biking sunglasses for a reasonable price, I bought these too. It is very useful to also have a pair that is not prescription. In the past I have been running with sunglasses on, and then I can't read my watch! As they are distance glasses. And I have a pair but it has had too many repairs by now. So now I'm sorted, whether I want to see in the distance or close-up!
