Why is it?....

Hellooooo!

Have been to opticians for check up - nothing unusual in that really I hear you say - and you would be absolutely right! But - why is it that whenever they ask you to read out loud letters on a chart with one eye covered, do they then ask you to read from the EXACTLY THE SAME CHART AGAIN with the other eye covered. I mean - I know what the letters are from last time! I know I'm supposed to say if I can't see them or not - but I KNOW what they say! Is it me?!?!?

Anyway, the optometrist is a very nice man and gave a very good check up etc. Got the giggles at one point when he asked me if I could read the chart and I replied "yes" - only to be met with a long silence, with him finally (very politely) asking, "can you read it out loud please?" Funny!

The weather here has been very up and down - warm nee hot, yet with lots of sudden downpours, thunder and lightning etc. We even had some very spectacular water spouts in the harbour! Here you go - have a butchers at these photos taken on 15/02/12:

This weekend has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL weatherwise and we spent this afternoon chilling out on our local beach - Eastern Beach. Gosh we are sooooo lucky!

Well - on that note - I've gotta go! Need to hang the washing out for tomorrow - back to work - PLOP!
