Blind people and glasses

When I say “blind people” I suppose that’s a little harsh because I’m referring to my mother. She’s not blind as such, she simply needs glasses for reading. I suppose as we get older things start to “break down” and assistance is needed. It’s part of life, then we die (that’s something to look forward too!). Anyway she told me about a special pair of glasses she bought….Dame Edna style…..fake diamonds and all. She got sick and tired of going to the toilet, magazine ready but no glasses! She forgets to bring her glasses every time and you can’t read what you can’t see. So these brightly coloured pointy tipped reading glasses were purchased as “toilet” glasses. The image of my mother sitting on the can with these tragic style reading glasses on is just a little too much for me…… so I’m sharing it with you. Let’s just hope they stay toilet glasses and not work glasses.
