Progressive lenses are the biggest incentive to go Lasic I can think of.

I persist with two pairs, although I might go progressive some day, and keep my old non-reading glasses for playing cricket, which I imagine would be disastrous in multi-prescription glasses.

Yes, I'm finding the limitations of these progressive lenses already. For being outside taking photos or on my bike, I need a thinner sliver of reading prescription at the bottom, and a deeper stretch of landscape-viewing prescription. And the sides are weird. I can set up lapping waves along the dining table by sitting in the middle spot and tipping my head back and forth. If testing myself for mal de mer was ever something I needed to do, I have the right glasses with which to do it.
But they are perfect for supermarkets.

[Raak] Amen.

Sending messages from the smartphone by selecting the first word proposed. Needs to be seeded with a couple of words and often ends up in an infinite loop, but there is a certain disquieting quality in it.

[Raak] Or Sitting on a lonely hill and listening to the noise. Both are equally soothing, IMHO.

(Raak + Phil) x 10 = sitting on a very high mountain and listening to both. I highly recommend Switzerland for the purpose.

(Phil) Reigate Hill is not that lonely but the racket from the M25 should make up for it.

[Rosie] I was thinking of Lowbury Hill, on the Berkshire/Oxfordshire border, where most of the noise comes from skylarks.

[PPRR] I did it on our back deck this afternoon. Tractors and buzzards. Peeeuw peeeuw.

(pen) There's no answer to that. Were the buzzards all called Leighton?

(pen) I misread your post, substituting the first person plural for the first person singular. It's Phil's fault - you know what he's like.

[Rosie] Typical. And in answer to your question, I doubt it. They're Dutch ones.

[Rosie] I would try to deny it, but nobody would believe me.

Lebkuchen Yes, it's getting near Xmas and the moreish little buggers are in the shops already....

Taking part in huge games of Werewolf. The card game, not the idiotic LARP.

Each of the first few sort-of-words uttered by one's grandchild. He said "ready" yesterday, when we were playing the "ready, steady, sit down" game I invented.

And yes, I have surreptitiously trained my grandson to sit on command :)
