All sworn out / power of finding things / no record shops in Bath

[hirez]

Sunday lunchtime - realise that I can't quite read the Obs colour section because of approaching kalideoscope greenhouse. Swear lots, because no more imigran, and jam fingers firmly into right-hand side of neck per instructions from Brian the Massage.

Since reading's going to be off-limits for the next day, haul gramophone from shelf, dig out Dual service manual, find replacement belt in Germany and order same.

Reading still off-limits. Remember that there's a bag of Sevilles in the larder since there was a box at the farm-shop looking somewhat unloved. Hack, simmer, sugar, boil, napalm, bang into jars. Sorted. This lot's got less sugar in, which may or may not be a good idea, but it seems that there's more depth to the taste.

Realise it's five hours later and my head still doesn't hurt. I think we'll call that a result. (Also new spectacles, as expected, at ££. They will arrive next week.)

As a matter of interest, does point size and colour of text/background make any difference? Or is all reading completely off the menu?

Reading just doesn't work.

Pretty much anything bar black text/white ground is next-to-impossible anyway, but I stop being able to see what the words are. There are shapes on the page/screen, but one's eyes just glance off them and the whatever-they-ares fail to register. You know how your eyes tend to slide off the bottom of something complicated? Like that, but for everything. I can force it, if I close an eye and squint a bit, but that's just means the headache get much worse.

Monstrous.
