I managed to break my glasses last night. A pain which makes navigating through the next week difficult, but not the worst thing that could have happened. I’m wearing my sunglasses in the house.

Just opened my laptop and the screen on that has broken! No idea how that happened, must have bumped my bag or something. It will be an expensive month but I don’t know what to do with myself now. I’m pretty much housebound until I can see again.

Am I going to have to read a book? No, I’ll end up just spending even more time on my phone.

Don’t have the previous set knocking around somewhere? Unless there was a massive prescription change, the last set is usually good enough for the time until a replacement set can be delivered.

I lost the previous set . This happened about six months ago too 😅

Ouch…if the lens on this “broken” set are still good, seeing if there’s a way to fix the frame enough for some use after you get a replacement might be worthwhile. If you lost a set, you aren’t that blind!

I’ve only “lost” a set once for a few minutes…the cat nicked them off the nightstand and hid them in the doorway…I found them by touch…foot touch!😳

I'm taking a month out to do f**k-all other than whatever fancy takes me at 9 am each day.  After that, I might get serious.

Right, six weeks into retirement and I'm a bit disappointed.  You need a plan, some kind of interest that's going to take up most of your time. Aimless fucking about is fun for a wee while but gets a bit boring after a few weeks.

I'm off to do some study. I'm a bit of a renaissance man (read ADHD) but I need a bit more focus to give my retirement some shape.

I get a bit Iike that even with partial retirement, but I use time off for drinking and watching the telly. They really fill my day and give a sense of achievement. I watched all of I, Claudius over two days this week.

That's what I need - a sense of purpose.  Might watch the collected works of Mary Millington after that.
