Life and Vincent: It's arrived!

It's arrived!

My new motorised bed is here, and I have already had two much-needed massages on it! There is still a lot of stuff to put back into the bedroom, but as the bed is slightly longer than the old one in my very small bedroom, I may have to rethink the layout - and possibly the actual items of furniture...

I had a contact lens try-out today. I just couldn't feel them! Sadly, I also couldn't see clearly through them, so the optician is going to order a slightly altered prescription. I hope we can get it right - it was so great to think I could be specs-free.

I'm very tired, and the new bed is calling, but Bobby's on at 10 (an hour-and-a-half from now) and he's calling even louder. It's The Unblinking Eye tonight.

I do the lenses thingy now and again... the thing is I like hiding my ugly mug behind glasses; 9:53 pm
JoJo said...: Does your bed also change positions like a hospital bed? Over here they are called "Craftmatic Adjustable Beds".

Oh yeah, how did the carpet-laying go?; 10:15 pm
ann said...: you mean your carpet got laid... lucky carpet; 11:21 pm

Anonymous said...: I officially have 20/20 vision, according to my optician. However, he also feels my eyes would 'benefit' from glasses, my right eye being the 'Vincent D'Onofrio' of the eyeworld, the left being the 'Chris Noth'. I'm trying not to be suspicious that this has something to do with the fact the optician also sells glasses ;0)
You could always put a TV in the bedroom Val, thus being able to bounce away on your new bed whilst oggling Bobby.; 7:45 pm
Eliza said...: Let us know how the lenses go?? I'm thinking of biting the bullet and giving up my specs after 30 years of hiding behind them :-)

Love the sound of your new bed,may have to try a bit of persuasion on J; 10:46 pm
Knitty Yas said...: i dont know you but i'm an optical tech and i cant stick my finger in my eye for the life of me man. no way no how.

and your bed vibrates? lol like those ones in the old movies in hotels where you put a coin in and the bed shakes? hehehehe dirty. ;p

i'm so jealous.; 3:21 am
In Ink said...: OMG a motorised bed and bad contact lenses. I'm just glad I am not driving anywhere near you.

:-D; 6:16 am
Liz said...: :) Motorised bed... sounds heavenly!!!

Wish you a wonderful week girl; 1:04 pm
val said...: You don't DRIVE the bed Michael! Nor do you get to keep the contact lenses till they have the prescription and brand that work for you, and you've proved you can insert and remove them three times on you own.

ANd how do you KNOW you are not driving anywhere near me...; 2:00 pm
val said...: BTW, the carpet thoroughly enjoyed getting laid. It is stretched across my floor in a state of abandon...

The old carpet has just been abandoned in the front garden till I can sneak it up the road to where some folks have a skip.; 2:01 pm
In Ink said...: Till: Till and until are generally interchangeable in both writing and speech, though as the first word in a sentence until is usually preferred: Until you get that paper written, don't even think about going to the movies.·Till is actually the older word, with until having been formed by the addition to it of the prefix un-, meaning "up to." In the 18th century the spelling 'till became fashionable, as if till were a shortened form of until. Although 'till is now nonstandard, 'til is sometimes used in this way and is considered acceptable, though it is etymologically incorrect.

Thought I had you again for a moment. Damn these stupid dictionaries.; 3:01 am
val said...: Imagine my disgust, Michael, when I phoned a TV company to bemoan their announcer's use of the "word" disassociate, and had a call back quoting the dictionary at me where it was given as an alternative to dissociate.; 8:05 pm
In Ink said...: So you're a real full time pedant with way too much time on your hands then? The rumours were true! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA.; 8:38 pm
In Ink said...: Nice to know I'm not alone!; 9:21 pm
abc said...: you have a motorised bed??? that's so cool. i didn't know you can get these things for personal use.

i would be too scared to get contacts plus i also like to hide myself behind the glasses... ;); 9:06 pm
