Reminds me of the day, nearly 10 years ago now, when I woke up one day and suddenly I could not see anything properly any more. Quite sad given my glasses at the time were only about a year to two old, having been replaced by the supplier because the coatings on the earlier version had failed unreasonably early.
Oh well, after I was sure the eyes settled I went out and got some of the optically fancy geriatric ones. They lasted well, and worked well. A few months back I went and got some new ones, while my health insurance was still valid before I moved. Now I have new health insurance but not sure about glasses.

Thus beers for me tonight
Wine snob? Have you not heard of vin de pays? Looks a bit like raspberry cordial and tastes like it was mixed with a little too much water. Not like the full flavoured new world wines such as come from the estate where I used to live (planted 1843, two thirds sold for a housing estate in 1985).

I saw a movie like that once. (Once with that movie was enough.)

I found a beer just recently called 'Boondoggle'. Tastes with strong hints of vegemite. It was a pretty good one.
