I’ve had problems for quite a while now, and one of them is to do with my eyesight. So the other day, I made the long bus journey—about two hours with a change—to visit the local blind society. Since I was heading that way, I thought I might as well try to sort out another issue I’ve been having with my hearing. I popped into the hospital and saw someone, but the problem’s still not resolved, so I guess I’ll have to go back there eventually. I then made my way to the blind society to see a chap called Nick, who was going to tell me about these Meta Ray-Ban sunglasses. They’re designed to help people with vision problems, using built-in AI that can recognise objects and surroundings—useful for people who can’t see certain things. I also needed a bit of help with the VoiceOver feature on my phone. There’s been a lot of buzz about these Meta Ray-Bans. I wanted to find out if they lived up to the hype—or if it was, well, just hype. (Pardon the pun.) It all seems a bit space-age—music playi...

--- **Lady of the Lake** Yesterday, I wandered to the old golf course lake,   chasing warmth in May’s uncertain breath.   The hill was steeper than I recalled—   legs unfamiliar with its slope,   mind distracted by chattering geese   who are rarely so bold.   Perhaps love has found them, or unrest. The path meandered, I followed—   lost in bramble and breeze   until the lake revealed itself,   its surface pierced with sound and feather.   Canada geese honked their displeasure,   uneasy with a visitor   on the cusp of their mirrored world. Still, I slipped into the water—   expecting the chill to greet me sharply.   But it welcomed me like memory,   cool but kind,   free from fuss or flinch.   They circled, ever watchful,   their wild eyes unreadable. Satisfied, I rose   just as they returned— ...

I decided to take a look at the 'potatoes' I was growing there were none there I guess I will have to wait until next year now to have another go I have read some advice on growing the things but its not that easy to follow much like a lot of advice I guess it depends who is delivering it I suppose. The weather is marginally better today here its not raining which is good the rain is horrible once it starts it forgets to stop round here I have taken a off from the buses today not sure it that's good thing as its just a fucking boring day in the house I guess I suppose I could go for a walk.  LIfe is tough these days tougher than I would like them it to be, I have been looking to move to see if that might improve things but its not that easy to move I guess. I have been following Chelsea for a long time but this year is one of the most depressing ones Eden Hazard has moved and there is no transfers coming in and top it off the club has employed a rookie you would have ...

The fine weather is still with us its just a shame I am not feeling fine today feeling a bit bloated maybe its due to the gassy drinking I did last night who knows. I feel sorry for folk who have booked their holiday to go abroad, they will be leaving one hot country just to go another and paying for it.  I guess if you book a holiday you have to go or you will lose the money I suppose I don't know its been a while since I have been anywhere really though I did get a reminder last night of the last place I went on holiday to and that was philadelphia it is 20 year4s ago now the time has gone quick the reminder came in the form of the Rocky film which was on the telly last night.  Rocky well a lot of it was filmed in philadelphia PA the steps where rocky ran up is the steps for the museum of art there which I visit while there.  I also came across another famous steps in philly the step in trading places, I guess there are thousands of land marks in the US related to th...
