I fixed 2 by no longer swimming… (actually the optician last week said it was ok under good goggles. It’s the showering in them was an issue.. .although I have my eyes shut !!)
Both my parents had cataract replacements so hopefully it’s hereditary and I can get free new eyes.

I saw an article yesterday about a survey that asked people when they thought “old age” began.
Gen Z thought “old” was 53
The millennials thought 63, Gen X 70 and the Boomers 74.
TBH when I was in my 20s I probably thought 50s was really old 
I’d say it’s when the NHS gets an interest in your anus. So 55 in GB, 60 in NI.
A couple of years back I was talking to one of the ladies in my team. We were talking about music and the subject of Rammstein came up and I said I was a fan. She said ‘ooh my Dad really likes them as well’ 
I tend to believe people think “old” is whatever age their parents are (or would be if they were still alive).
Last week my friend (surname Nelson) was telling us he mentioned the Admiral to a Gen Z. They had no idea who he meant and said they would google it.
So I guess you are old when you know who the Nelson’s column guy was.
This is in Norfolk where all the road signs say this.
I’m putting this down to old persons brain…
I made an appointment for a haircut a couple of weeks ago. I know it’s in the middle of this week. This morning I check the diary and I never made a note of it. Bugger.
Called the hairdressers (cheapo barbers in the village) and explained my issue - “I think it’s tomorrow around lunchtime-ish. The name is David. I didn’t give a surname.”
She’s got two Davids booked tomorrow - at 10:30 and 11:15. I said I think I might be the second one but I’m not sure. So I said I’ll go in for 10:30 and see if someone else turns up with the same name as me - and then we’ll go from there 
Well at least both bookings are on the same day at about the same time
Do you get a pensioner special rate for mid week during the morning?
I’ve not asked, but for £8.50 I’m quite content.
Bizarre timing, I’ve got a letter from the NHS today saying I’m getting another ‘free gift’ from them in the next couple of weeks 
Apparently it’s every 2 years now!
First night of Quiz Night on BBC2. Mastermind, Only Connect and University Challenge, we’re officially on the run up to Christmas.
Merry Christmas everyone.
I can confirm I’m not the 10:30 appointment. Although I do know the David who just walked in.
Fingers crossed that another David doesn’t show up at 11:15
Always marks the end of summer.
The 11am didn’t turn up so i got in the chair at 11:05. Nobody turned up at 11:15 so that must have been my appointment.
Oh, and whilst sat waiting my over the road neighbour came in on the off chance of a walk in appointment - his name is David too! The hairdresser couldn’t believe it. He was sent on his way as nothing available. For a moment I was worried that he was the 11:15 and I’d properly screwed up.
I’ve booked the next appointment and made sure it’s not just my first name in the appointment book.
I need a rest now
Are you sure you have time for a job?
As a David myself, we are strong in numbers for our generation, but I fear we are heading towards extinction
You need to make an alliance with the Kevins
