Had a haircut today, at one of the local Turkish barbers. I like that I get a coffee before/during my shearing, and a hot face towel and neck, shoulder and arm massage after. Nice!
Today marks the first time – despite always asking them to do so – that they actually left the hair atop my head alone completely. Usually they can’t resist trimming it!
I also ordered a new pair of testacles… we, I mean spectacles, from the local SpecSavers. Whilst there I tried to get them to fix my very buggered current pair. They tried and gave up! The arms were bent out of whack (downwards), by about 60/70°!!!
They did give me some free mini-screws, so I could try fixing the damn things myself, at home. I wish I’d taken a before pic! They were in an awful state.
In the photo above you can see where I had to saw a groove into the underside of the hinge. This allowed me to get a tiny screwdriver and remove a broken piece of thread (resting atop the hinge in the same pic) that had broken off when the specs got bent out of shape.
Last pic is the fixed specs, with the superb little craft saw that did such a great job. These old discs are just for distance.
My new pair – ready in 7-10 days time – with be bisexua… et, I mean bifocals! Plus they’ll have an anti-glare coating. Something I’m often too broke or cheapskate to pay for.
