16 random things about me .... it's so tough ....
1 - Automatically I bite my tongue or the lower lip when I'm overwhelmed by cuteness of cats. I bite harder when I touch the fluffy animal. Don't know why. I think I do the same when I touch babies. 可愛さに負けて猫を見ると自動的に舌か下唇を噛んじゃうんです。触っちゃうともっと強く噛みます。どうしてかは分からないです。赤ちゃんを見ても同じことしてると思います。ｗ
2 - Apart from cats, my favourite animal is panda. I want to go to China to see them. 猫以外で一番好きな動物はパンダ。中国に行って会ってみたい！
3 - I took a sicky to read the last book of Harry Potter. ハリポタ最終巻を読む為に仮病で仕事を休みました。
4 - #3 reminds me that I used to be an optician. I can examine someone's eyes and make spectacles in about 30 mins...it depends. 3番目つながりで。メガネ屋でした。検眼して物によって30分位でメガネを作れます。
5 - #4 reminds me that I adore people in specks. Jarvis Cocker and Ingrid Michaelson the most. 4番目つながりで。メガネをかけている人が好きです。Jarvis CockerとIngrid Michaelsonが一番。
6 - My favourite film is In The Mood For Love by Wong Kar Wai. But now I cannot stop watching My Blueberry Nights also by the same director. 好きな映画はウォン・カーウァイの花様年華。ただ、今はMy Blueberry Nightsが中心。
7 - I listen to all sorts of music, so I tried to list my favourites but I just cannot do that. 色々な種類の音楽を聴くので、考えたんですが一番好きな人たちを挙げるのはできません。
8 - My favourite book is The Romantic Movement or Essays In Love by Alain de Botton. ( Mark!!! I need to speak to u soon I'm so busy but I'll come round soon!! ) These have been with me everywhere. 一番好きな本はアラン・ド・ボトンの The Romantic Movement か Essays In Love。どこに行くにも一緒。
9 - I cannot drink much. I need 3 or 4 hours to finish a glass of red wine. I sniff beer. A cheap date. お酒に弱いです。3・4時間かけて一杯のワインを飲みます。ビールはクンクン匂いを嗅ぎます。安いデート相手です。
10 - I drink tea. Tea with milk. Far too many. 紅茶ばっかり飲みます。ミルク入りで。有り得ないほど。
11 - My favourite food is Thai red curry. レッドカレーが大好きです。
12 - My least favourite food is unstrained sweet bean paste though I love strained sweet bean paste. 漉し餡は大好きなのに粒餡はだめ。( jamさん、和菓子大好きですからね！)
13 - I cry far too easily and far too often. I cry to sad news on TV and people in love. 有り得ないほどいつもすぐ泣く。悲しいニュースとか恋愛中のカップルを見てとか。昨日はM-1見てNon Styleで泣きました。あぁ、私の涙腺ｗ
14 - I've spent a year volunteering. I met so many wonderful people and made so many mental photos in my mind that I will never ever forget. In the end I found out I was the one being helped. 一年間ボランティアをしました。すごい人達と出会って何枚もの記憶の写真ができました。最後には自分が一番助けられました。
15 - Some of my friends outside Flickr call me by my English name, Katie or KT. フリッカーの外ではKatieかKTという英語名で一部の友達に呼ばれています。
16 - I was born in the year of Dragon for Chinese zodiac, which makes me 32. 辰年生まれです。ということは説明いらないと思うけど、32歳。
く～、難しい！That was tough!!
And I tag Rogvon I can't wait to read your 16s! :D
I'd left a pair of glasses in the background of this shot and how it caught the light had some unexpected (and cool) results!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is nothing in focus.
If you have a blurry vison and nothing is in focus anymore, maybe love is making you blind !!! Please check your love life and maybe you will discover that you are madly in love (which is an awesome news… usually…) !
However, if you see that this picture is blurry, please don’t run to your optician yet. The blur in this picture was made on purpose…I repeat this is an artistic blur !! No need to change your glasses… but if you are madly in love consider buying a ring instead ;-).
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later, I have my first « legit » garden party with my parents !! No curfew, courtesy of our provincial gouvernement !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

I had to go to the optician as my glasses were broken. It was an emergency.
Tuve que ir al optico porque se me rompieron los anteojos. Era una emergencia
Rodenstock Tetron 165mm - lens from projector used by opticians for eye test. This lens is sharp and includes aperture.
I went out today.... went walk about, and whilst putting my camera neck strap over my head.... calamity.... caught my specs/glasses and the left lens fell out....... not totally snookered, but damn awkward... came home very early and went opticians, they kindly repaired them for me, so with time on my hands i played some music, John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne "No more tears" was first up on the play list, after a shuffle... inspiration ! Visited my "I" phone shots catalogue put this together.... in windows.

Jonathan is on the far left and beau in the water fairly central but Merry possibly behind those people. We hope to go to our local coast today for a few days. Jonathan been advised to go to eye casualty after the optician sought advice from the hospital who think he does need to be checked over but he is going under pressure - my pressure. He has taken our dogs a walk as usual and doesn't really feel the need to go to eye casualty.
The exif doesn't reveal which vintage lens took this but highly likely it was the Pancolar and was taken using a Sony a7rm2..
Also it appears to me to have been processed to accentuate the vintage 'feel'
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend...Sue..x
Comments still off btw….not well enough to comment myself yet.
Quick update for my Flickr friends - about Jonathan’s accident which involved falling flat on his face. Spent over 5 hours in eye casualty yesterday with a covering note on his optician’s findings which pretty much were the same at the hospital. No ocular bleed but one eye still being pulled slightly to one side due to the muscle being affected and in the same eye the Iris not dilating properly so he needs a repeat scan in a few weeks but they were not overly concerned so we are off to the beach today come rain hail or shine :)
Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend….Sue.
Oh yes this was bracketed hand held with my back against the wall so I could also brace my arm on the wall behind me.

Across the street from the Hard Day's Night hotel, this opticians has hit upon an extremely good piece of advertising.
The Music Hall opened to the public on May 10, 1901, just nine days after the opening of the Library. Andrew Carnegie was accompanied by noted educator, astronomer, and optician John A. Brashear at the official dedication of the Free Library and Music Hall on April 22, 1902.
The Carnegie Institute Music Hall The Carnegie Institute Music Hall
The Music Hall, which includes a balcony level, has an 800 seat capacity. The hall still has the original Mahogany seats, which include a wire frame directly under the seat for a gentleman to store his top hat during a performance.
Still a vibrant location for stage shows, the Carnegie Music Hall continues to be one of Pittsburgh's premier settings for intimate musical and cultural performances.
Wie mij al een tijdje volgt zal weten dat ik visuele problemen had. Zo erg dat gedacht werd (ik bijna wel zeker wist) dat het om fixatie disparatie ging.
Onze zorg zit zo in elkaar dat je voor problemen met je ogen niet meer zomaar bij een arts terecht komt. Het is een weg langs de opticien, die niet eens een opleiding hoeft te volgen, maar meestal wel heeft gedaan. Dan komt de optometrist in beeld die, naar ik nu weet, niet de diagnose fixatie disparatie mag stellen.
Omdat ik steeds moeilijker ging zien en ik eindelijk een diagnose wilde ben ik naar een wat duurdere optometriste geweest die mij doorstuurde naar de oogkliniek.
De diagnose viel mij rauw op het dak. Geen fixatie disparatie. Maar wel dezelfde soort klachten die ook veroorzaakt kunnen worden door het langdurig dragen van een verkeerde bril!!!
Ongeloof: is het echt zo simpel op te lossen
Verdriet: mijn klachten zijn ca 23 jaar geleden begonnen en telkens aangegeven bij elke opticien die ik zag. Bij de optometriste die mijn klachten bevestigde, maar mij niet doorstuurde.
Verdriet: omdat ik in de winkel waar " allee de prijs is anders" voor een oogmeting kwam omdat ik pijn had in mijn rechteroog, geen oogmeting kreeg omdat men dat niet nodig achtte.
Hoe dit kan? omdat men voort borduurt op de bril waarmee je komt. Waarom moeten we niet net als vroeger naar een oogarts voor een bril? Of in ieder geval wanneer je klachten hebt..
pijn in mijn rechteroog (spierpijn dus)
dubbelzien bij achterom kijken
slecht kunnen schrijven
slecht kunnen lezen
moeite met verwerking van digitale beelden
moeite hebben met traplopen
geen roltrap kunnen nemen
rechtsaf gaan met de fiets ging lastig/niet
boodschappen in een tasje doen was ingewikkeld
in de lucht staan te graaien om een waslijn te pakken
Ik heb ooit een bord naast een tafel gezet terwijl ik echt dacht dat daar nog tafel was.
Ik heb inmiddels mijn nieuwe bril en echt, wonderen bestaan. ik zit nog in de eerste 2 weken van gewenning. Alles wat in mijn hersens ingeprent zat, moet opnieuw ingeprent worden, maar ik merk al zoveel vooruitgang. Was ophangen is leuk als je de waslijn kunt pakken. Het gaat ook zoveel sneller.
Nu het SoS thema soap on black background is vond ik het leuk om mijn nieuwe bril op deze manier te presenteren. Ik kreeg bij mijn bril het advies mee om hem gewoon schoon te maken met afwaszeep en koud water.
sorry voor het lange verhaal..
Anyone who's been following me for a while will know I had vision problems. So severe that people thought (and I was almost certain) it was fixation disparity.
Our healthcare system is structured in such a way that you no longer simply see a doctor for eye problems. It's a route through an optician, who doesn't even need to have any training, but usually has. Then comes the optometrist, who, as I now know, is not allowed to diagnose fixation disparity.
Because my vision was becoming increasingly difficult and I finally wanted a diagnosis, I went to a somewhat more expensive optometrist who referred me to an eye clinic.
The diagnosis came as a complete shock. Not fixation disparity. But the same kind of symptoms that can also be caused by wearing the wrong glasses for an extended period!!!
Disbelief: Is it really that simple to solve?
Sadness: My symptoms started about 23 years ago and were reported to every optician I saw. At the optometrist, who confirmed my complaints but didn't refer me.
Sadness: because I went to the store "where just the price is different" for an eye test because I had pain in my right eye, and didn't get one because they deemed it unnecessary.
How is this possible? Because they rely on the glasses you come with. Why shouldn't we have to go to an ophthalmologist for glasses like we used to? Or at least when you have complaints...
Pain in my right eye (muscle pain)
Double vision when looking back
Difficulty writing
Difficulty reading
Difficulty processing digital images
Difficulty climbing stairs
Unable to take an escalator
Turn right on my bike was difficult/impossible
Putting groceries in a bag was complicated
Stood reaching in the air to get a clothesline
I once put a plate next to a table when I really thought there was another table there.
I now have my new glasses, and truly, miracles do happen. I'm still in the first two weeks of getting used to it. Everything that was ingrained in my brain needs to be relearned, but I'm already noticing so much progress. Hanging out laundry is fun when you can grab the clothesline. It's so much faster too.
Now that the SoS theme is soap on a black background, I thought it would be fun to present my new glasses this way. The advice with my glasses was to simply clean them with dish soap and cold water.
Sorry for the long story.

By now unoccupied and unloved, the less than salubrious Nelson Subway, constructed in the early 1960s as part of the first Bullring development, never aged particularly well and adopted the downtrodden jaded look of many of the so-called brutalist concrete constructions of that period.
Not long after this shot was taken the subway was closed and demolished to make way for the second Bullring development project in the early 2000s.
The optician advertised, Maxton Saunders, is apparently still doing business on the Stratford Road in Sparkhill.

Isn't it beautifully lush and green?
My eyes have been playing up a bit recently - I am off to the optician very soon, but I am having trouble with using my computer too much!
I took a photo of this square in December when I went to see an optician and I walked through it again when I returned just after new year to pick up my new glasses. I took this from a different angle as I wanted to catch the last light of the day and that wonderful prop of a bicycle! It's a bit of a different experience in France from the UK when you want to have your eyes tested and buying new glasses. Here you can only have your eyes tested at an ophthalmologist and they give you a prescription which you then take to an optician who sells you the glasses, they don't test your eyes.
Captured lunchtime in my garden before the sun broke out. Another crazy busy day what with an Opticians Appt. Physio assessment amongst other things so catch up when the world slows down
Penone (born in 1947) poses with his iconic self-portrait from 1970. He was 23 when he asked a local optician to create mirroring contact lenses. They are not translucent, so the artist was temporarily blinded when the picture was made.
We should realize that art is a process of inner vision. We make photos of the things we recognize. Onlookers recognize what they recognized before. Mirrors are magical gateways to a deeper understanding.
My psyche prefers a set of three connected /3 similar photographs in a sequence whenever possible but just one a day to be fair to anyone liking something to comment on. So here is bird number 3 taken in roughly the same area as the previous two. I am afraid I shall be slow to leave comments because I am home after 4 hours extensive testing of my eyes at the Neuro -Ophthalmic surgery at my local hospital.
Still no closer to finding out the cause of my problem despite scans, pressure testing, examinations of both eyes x 2
All of this today....
Only to be referred to the Glaucoma clinic... this after the first test was for Glaucoma and where I was told I didn't have signs of Glaucoma. I googled my symptoms on reaching home, which at the beginning of this eye problem starting over a year ago suggested to me 'night blindness ' my Optician then an Ophthalmologist both said I don't have this condition but my symptoms are exactly that...I had been looking at American sites because the NHS in the UK don't appear to recognise it as an actual real 'thing' if anyone I follow suffers from this I would be interested in what treatment is available.. the suggestion the consultant thought possible being removal of the tiny early cataracts and drops for Glaucoma ?????

Me and my wife went for our eyes testing. We go every two years.
Fortunately neither of us needed a new prescription!
I was sat waiting for my turn, whilst my wife was with the optician.
I don’t know anyone in this photo, I hope they don’t mind.

Do you see the statue of the soldier ?
Appears to be carved from that wooden post but it isn’t.
Today could have gone better tbh…Jonathan felt flat on his face at the end of last week but didn’t tell me and on Saturday asked me to look at his eye which was painful. It had a bright red streak which close up looked like a blood vessel and pressure in the eye is a side effect of his new medication for COPD caused by Covid or the Covid virus. He stopped taking the meds but wouldn’t go to eye casualty re the fall and hitting his eyebrow at the edge of the eye socket as the consultants on strike then. So made the earliest optician appointment which was this afternoon.
After extensive tests then a scan costing £30 ( brilliant new technology ) the Optician said his eye was not turning to the side properly and the pupil not reacting properly to light shining on it, although till that part the optician had been quite optimistic that no damage had occurred
He is phoning the hospital and told us to expect a call from them tomorrow 😏 These pics were to try to act a bit lighter but not reflecting my mood now :(
Jonathan says they might put it down to age or a small bleed on the brain and do an MRI scan.
He doesn’t appear worried but I am….😟
Seen in the display window of a local optician.
It reminded me of a song from my youth (and a song that I still listen to) - Blockheads.
since my son owns an optics shop, I see many sunglasses that stand out.

My long site has improved, and I only need reading glasses now, says my optician after a Test recently. I had already noticed the improvement.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Previously unpublished shot captured in April 2019. So if, like me, you had been putting off going to the opticians because of the coronavirus pandemic I can say confidently that there is no need. My appointment today with a popular and well advertised high street brand of opticians was an exercise in perfect Covid-19 hygiene practices. Oh, and hopefully the new glasses will help with the eye-strain headaches that I have had for a couple of months now. Yes I know that a photographer really needs to take better care of their eyes but... COVID! Anyway, new prescription ordered with more change in one eye and the other, hence the headaches!
I guess this turned into a kind of Photograph Blog post, I'd like to call that a Phlog but I see that word already means something else. Hmmmm.
Stay safe everyone!
Taken at Lyme Park.
I have a few tree images which I will be posting but for some reason I chopped the tops off them when shooting them. Guess I should have gone to Spec Savers (well known opticians in the UK).
Also just noticed I used an unsuitable aperture setting. I was wondering why the background wasn't sharp - now I know why. Is there such a place as Brain Savers? x
Sometimes, when I'm bored, like while waiting for Wife to get her new glasses, I roam around and shoot stuff.
Not a big fan of the simple street photography trope of people looking into their phone. But that one appealed to me. Could some optician help this monk?
I am thinking of working on a series of self portraits inspired by RL events and this is the first piece.
I am helpless without my glasses and have rather severe myopia. But I am a photographer in RL and I am forever working at computer for long hours editing my pictures. My mom always tell me that at this rate I am going to go blind.
Once I asked an optician if I would eventually go blind and he told me that I run the risk of suffering from retinal detachment. When he said that I could almost feel my retina peeling off and collapsing helplessly into a heap of mess.
Wolla Bank Pit Nature Reserve
We hoped to see Starling murmurations but they were just coming across in small and fairly large flocks but going immediately down into the reed beds. We were at first puzzled by not witnessing murmurations but then realised we were a single week earlier due to several appointments this week. Dentist Opticians etc etc..but I still enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere whilst Jonathan took the dogs for a swim in the North Sea. The road leading to the car park had some Teasels etc and a nice bit of fence so I still enjoyed the sunset light between a huge bank of clouds and the fields inland. Only myself there which was a give away that I wouldn’t get much in the way of Starling shots but I didn’t mind. There is so much more to being close to Chapel St Leonards than many people realise..
Wolla Bank Pit is flooded clay pits with Wolla Bank Reedbed on the opposite side of the road. A range of chalk-land flora as well as colonies of common spotted-orchid. Good for butterflies and dragonflies.
I hope I’m not giving away a well kept secret 🤔
Btw, I forgot to mention that I had steady shot turned on for a few of the hand held Starlings shots of them going down into the reed beds the opposite side of the road but noticed my shots were blurry…doh. Soon realised I had braced my elbows on the top of the fence making an effective tripod…..easy done but I realised fairly quickly as it happens Sue :)

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. A simple juxtaposition that I simply couldn't resist - enjoy!
Collected my new specs aka glasses from the optician today. They came with a case in blue, my least favourite colour so I asked if there was another option.
And the lady optician produced this beautiful pink case plus a cleaning cloth in 4 different colours of which can be seen just the pink and the green sections.
for Crazy Tuesday
You may from time to time have seen reference to the “Three Happy Snappers” in my stories. That’s me, Dave and Lee. You don't need to know anything about me that I haven't already mentioned, so let me give you a brief introduction to the other two happy snappers. Dave is a web guru (whatever that is) and a fine art graduate. He, his wife and the youngest of their three adult sons are rarely seen in public, preferring to hide in their homely forest cottage that would have the Brothers Grimm reaching for their quills in imagination fuelled fury. Outside his day job, Dave looks after the website of a famous person, but I can’t tell you who it is of course. Client privileges and all that. He’s also my younger brother, which means I’ve known him for approximately five and a half decades. I was confined to my bed with German Measles the day he was being born at home in the next room, and when consulted by village elders on what I thought about my new baby brother, I apparently replied that he was ok, but on balance I’d rather have a new Thomas the Tank Engine train set. Choo choo!
Lee joined our world twelve or thirteen years ago, when he was invited to come and play football one Friday evening and was immediately accepted into the group on a long term basis. He used to sell glasses from a shop in Falmouth, made by the family business in his native West Midlands. Nowadays he works for a local electrician in the village where he lives, running the shop, keeping the appointments book up to date, and advising me on camera gear. His daily commute takes approximately one minute in either direction - on foot. Just occasionally, we lure him away from the village, but he does seem to be growing roots in the few years since he and his wife moved there from Falmouth. Before he came to Cornwall, he also had a famous client. He's not taking on new customers these days, but for us chosen few, he can still rustle up a new pair of varifocals at a price that tells me I shouldn't have gone to a certain optician on the High Street. I’ve never had a famous client by the way - or even any clients at all for that matter. I once bumped into Little Mo from Eastenders at Gatwick Airport. Does that count?
From time to time, the Three Happy Snappers convene at one location or another to take photographs at sunset, have a bit of a catch up with each others’ lives, discuss the football and enjoy a slow pint of hop based infusion before heading for home. And to my amazement we were going out for the second occasion in under a month. This time we’d agreed upon Land’s End in early August. The heather should be looking good around then. It was great at the same time last year. We'd grab some food on the way down, and then spend the second half of the afternoon among the heather. With any luck we’d get some nice light towards the end of day.
But what’s this - a fourth happy snapper gatecrashing the party? Well I remembered a message I’d had from one of you. Step forward artisan cheese maker Lloyd, who was making an extra visit to Cornwall this year. You know Lloyd - king of the super long exposure. I don't know if he has any famous clients, so you'll have to ask him I'm afraid. He usually arrives in quiet November, armed with a camera bag and good intentions, so being told that he was coming here in the middle of summer was a bit of a surprise. It so happened that his brief holiday coincided with our outing to Land’s End, and he was staying at nearby Cape Cornwall too. And yes he’d be delighted to meet us at Land’s End and update the locals on exactly how much it costs to park there if you don’t have a postcode that begins with “TR” or “PL.” It was the fourth time I'd met him here over the last three years. A spleen venting nine pounds and fifty pence this time. Ouch! I get to park here for free.
Half an hour later, after wrestling our way through the hordes, we were sitting in the hotel grounds, supping four frighteningly expensive pints and planning our sunset shoot. Ever the tech tart, Lee was demonstrating the remote shutter contraption he'd recently acquired to operate his phone camera from six paces away as the four of us gurned inanely at the birdie, waiting for the Google Pixel that he'd perched perilously close to the edge of the bench to topple onto the concrete below. Somehow it survived the drop. It might have been the best picture of the day.
What didn't appear to have survived this far into August was the heather. This time last year it was here in abundance, but today much of the growth was already distinctly brown and patchy. Plan A was looking a little bit shaky, so it's a good job that there are plenty of other things to take pictures of at Land's End. Although somehow, the small patch of heather that I did find in the right place made it into the image. It was easier than this last year. Strange when it’s been so colourful elsewhere around here recently.
It's always great fun when the three happy snappers get together. Even more so when an honorary fourth joins the party. Although we did ask him to bring some cheese next time. Who doesn't love cheese?
