in a toilet far far away

Today I am having a specky four eyes day. I normally wear contact lenses but a few years ago the whites of my eyes started turning pink. When I went to the opticians about it, my eyeman told me that it was because my eyes couldn’t breathe properly and that if I kept wearing my lenses for 17 hours at a time, as was my inclination, he’d stop prescribing me them. He also told me I had fatty deposits on my eyes. Love him!
So, now, I put my lenses in first thing to go to the gym. Running in glasses is a no no. Who wants to look like a fish on a running machine!
Then when I get to work I take my lenses out and put my specs on.
So, today, I am bespectacled (but Look*, no pink eye!). I just went for a pee. Where the light above my head reflected through the lenses of my glass it through reflections onto the floor that made it look exactly like I had CP30 eyes. How crazy is that!
And on the subject of crazy when I was in Barcelona recently (see earlier posts) I came across what must be the only Mexican restaurant in the whole world that didn’t do margaritas!
Me: ‘Do you do Margaritas?’ (in Spanish, natch)
Them: ‘No, but we’ve got 7 tequilas’
* I really wanted to write Look with an eyeball in each of the os but couldn’t!)
