The eyes have it

 Today wasn't inspiring either..still grey and getting chillier....but at least I got the sheet and towels wash on the line and half dry!

A text arrived to remind me that it was eye check time...I phoned them and they had a slot free this afternoon!

I managed to fit in lunch and dealing with the wild pears before going...they were washed and de-stalked and put in the freezer. Freezing means that I'll get more juice from them. And the stalks clog up the mincer!!

The eye examination went fine..no change needed to the specs I've had for about six years...just a slight change in my eyes from last year but no worries. They did my hearing check as well - passed with flying colours! And no change since the first one two years ago....that I'd had to get Pirate to have his checked!!!

Then a walk around town...a bit of exercise while I waited for the bus.





That's the Auld Brig... From the 1700s I think...that had a rebuild in the 1700s.

The new one from the 1800s is to the right of the top photo...and that had to have a complete rebuild quite soon after it was first put there!!

It looks quite picturesque, especially in that light.

Even on a grey day, it's picturesque. Good to hear all the tests were passed with flying colors.

Great twilight photos.

Grey weather has hit here also. It's nothing to cheer over anywhere. You captured some nice reflections in the photos.

Having good test results is always great.
Walking to view the sights is always enjoyable.

What nice atmospheric photos. really made me think "it's that time of year" i.e. when winter just starts to set in and Christmas still hasn't happened!
