Where do you put your glasses when you are not wearing them?

At school, I have to move around between classes, so I can't put them down in the same place.
At home, I started off with a pair by the phone, which escalated to a pair next the bed, a pair by the computer, a pair in my bag etc. Now I need them for all close work, including meal as I don't like eating blurred food.

Did you wear a pair all the time so that you can find the other pairs that you left lying around?

Couldn't you have one breakfast for your UK biorhythms and one for your U.S. ones? I don't think that would be too greedy.

You missed out my pie-orhythms

I'm under-eating. I must address this problem with a visit to a pie shop.

My reading glasses live on my head when not in use. I have 4 pairs in the house, 2 up , 2 down, 2 pairs at work and 1 pair in whichever bag i happen to be using.

I used to live in a two up, two down house in Headingly. It was a bit cramped.

I'm also trying out varifocals at the moment. I think they should be called vari-f**k-alls because I can see f-all through them.

My eyes were made for varfocals they worked straight out of the box I even rode home wearing them.

Ah, the blessings of modern technology.
In order to use my 'snapshot' camera I take out on the bike - the 'proper' camera, with a viewfinder, will not be subjected to the risk of bouncing about in the saddlebag since I broke the last one's screen when I lost at 'pothole or puddle' once - I also have to take some old reading glasses because I can't actually see the f-ing (and shutter speeding) numbers, or where the in-focus point is, on the screen otherwise.

When on a ride, I do take a pair of "fold-up" glasses, which pack away to virtually nothing, so that I can see what I'm doing in the event of repairs etc!!

I can see perfectly without the need for focussing aids but in order feel part of the gang I'm going to poke myself in the eyes so that I can see f-all too.

Perhaps we should get @summerdays to start an "Ageing Disgracefully" thread.

Just don't use them when you are using a desktop computer, they are a literal pain in the neck then.

That's where varifocals come in, help me see the potholes, and lumps of concrete, too.
