Last Sunday I had to collect my new glasses which I only wear mainly for reading as I can see well for distance. 11am was my oppointment to collect the glasses but we went for a drive, 5 and 1/2 hours later and over 250 km we arrived home.
It doesn't take long to get them fitted but we ended up going to Scottsdale had lunch then drove to the sea at Bridport on the North East Coast of Tasmania, Australia.
The glasses, then the Cafe.
Inside and the food. My husband had a mini pizza and I had mini fish and chips for lunch - delicious.
See? It was well worth driving out to pick up the glasses with the beloved. Otherwise lunch would have been boring at home, not delicious in a cafe
ReplyDeleteLunch was delicious and much better than staying home Hels :)
DeleteApparently a very pleasant walk.
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful drive, the road was windy but lovely scenery too..
DeleteYou had a full day. : )
ReplyDeleteYes Catarina, an unexpected one and they are often the best ones.
DeleteYou had a nice day.
ReplyDeleteWe sure did Anne.
DeleteParece mini es una ración muy completa. Son muy bonitas las gafas que has elegido.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Thank you re glasses, I'm happy with them.
DeleteI can see you had a good day. :)
ReplyDeleteYes it was Bill.
DeleteYou had a good day! I like fish and chips.
ReplyDeleteYes Angie. The fish and chips were delicious, lovely and hot and plenty to eat for me at lunchtime.
DeleteIt sounds like an excellent - and very full day. I like your new glasses. And need to get mine updated.
ReplyDeleteYes it ended up being a full day as many of our drives are, always taking roads we haven't been on and often end up in some beautiful places. We get tired of our old frames and of course we can often see better with new lenses.
DeleteThe type of country food when I am on the road
ReplyDeleteThat's right, nothing like good old fish and chips.
DeleteI wear reading glasses but only buy cheap ones from Hot Bargain, the mini pizza looks so nice
ReplyDeleteI have been using magnifying glasses for read Jo-Anne but they get a bit blurred every now and then. The husband said the mini pizza was to his liking, I'm not really a pizza lover but will eat a few pieces sometimes.
DeleteThat was along drive to collect your glasses - you must have been ready for those plates of refreshment. My glasses are also just for reading too.
ReplyDeleteIt was a long drive as we only stopped for luch for 1/2 hour. We certainly were hungry when we arrived at Scottdale, there were a few cafes open but we chose the best one.
DeleteIt's a smart looking cafe. It would be better if they changed EFTPOS available to Cash welcome. Your glasses are pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks re glasses, they fit well. Guess the sign was done sometime ago Andrew when EFTPOS wasn't that popular maybe.
DeleteThe unexpected adventure! The best kind.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure Bill.
DeleteThe glasses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIf I have to go to the optician, I can get there by walking for 10 minutes.
I have to drive 20 kilometers by car just to see the ophthalmologist.
Greetings Irma
Oh I see, that's interesting Irma.
DeleteYour glasses are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you, something different for me.
DeleteThe food looks delicious. It's always a good option to spend nice time in the places where we go for some service.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
That's so very true, we have been there before to eat lunch and always nice food.
Deletesounds like you really had an amazing Sunday with your hubby.

Thanks. Memories made that day Jose.
DeleteMy eyesight is much the same. Fine far away, but my reading eyes need a little help. The joys of getting older.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. However, it's good to be able to see.
DeleteAnd with your new glasses, you could better read the menu! The fish & chips look yummy. 😋
ReplyDeleteOh yes, read it well. Those fish and chips were very tasty.

ReplyDeleteYes I did and thank you Teresa.
