Almost lost my vision (twice!) due to illness over the last couple years, so I get tested a lot. Expensively a lot. (Really could've used that health care plan, but oh well.)
Anyway, had another visual field test this morning. You don an eye patch, stick your face in this thing and click the button every time you see a lavender flash. Not as easy as it sounds, since some flashes are quite dim and after about 3 minutes you start wondering if you're imagining them. You also start seeing spots from staring at the little green light in the center. Once you do one eye, you switch the patch and do the other one.
Worst. Video game. Ever.
In exchange for showing Maria my South Africa photos, she let me shoot the machine.
Strange placement for Eye Clinic Center sign... barely visible in the narrow space.
(Your patients need eye surgery anyway, so it doesn't matter if they can't see the sign...?)

You know the scene in Harry Potter when he received an avalanche of invites from Hogworts? Well, that has been me and the cards from Specsavers about an overdue eyetest.
So, along with an emergency dental appointment, I took most of Monday off, with Jools dropping me off midway between St Maggies and Dover, so I could safely walk into town, as no roads or lanes have pavements, so this being the only safe way.
I had time, so once at the cliffs, I sat on a bench and looked at the comings and goings, and a guy base-jumping off the cliff. No idea if he survived, but his partner filmed the leap.
He had a go-pro on his helmet, which made me think he was a cyclist at first, and I was going to tell him off for cycling along the cliffs.
There we no screams of despair after he jumped, so he must have survived. A Google search revealed another base jumper only just survived after his chute failed in 2018, falling to the beach in St Maggies.
I walked on, down into Langdon Hole, with clouds of Chalkhills scattering from each footfall. And there was me saying at the weekend I hadn't seen any.
Down below in the harbour, ferries came and went, and line of cars and motorhomes lined up to check in and board. No queues for freight.
And to the north, a small cruise ships approaches the harbour to dock at the cruise terminal and load up with a fresh set of passengers.
I reach the end of the Cliff Road and climb the path towards the NT building, then turn left along the path before taking the steep path down towards Eastcliff and Athol Terrace.
It is easier going down.
Just.
Under Jubilee Way and out of what little breeze there was, it was hot. I had 45 minutes to get to the opticians.
I walked along Eastcliff, past the multi-coloured houses cowering under the cliffs, along Townwall Street before cutting through the St James Development. I can report that the site of the old leisure centre looks like it is going to be another car park.
As is the site of the old Co-Op, which was the site of an indoor craft market, but that too now has been razed and looked like being a car park too.
The car parks we already have are not full, as the council lets stuff being built in Whitfield.

The eye test is obviously to read the small print indicated by the asterix. Luckily the Pyrocat HD brings out the text nicely so I passed the test today.
