New Specs. by happypat

New Specs.

A selfie today as I wanted to show you my new spectacles, they are tortoiseshell & although I only wear them for reading & driving I thought my old silver ones were very dated. I am quite pleased with them!

Three good things:
1. Hot water bottles!
2. Habro Jelly Babies.
3. Deal or No Deal!!! I am rather ashamed of putting this as a good thing as it is really very low brow TV but Harry & I love it when we have finished our jobs & sit having a cup of tea next to the Aga, specially in the winter.
thats lovely Pat, great spectacles and how clever of you, no need for a timer here!! Brilliant idea and gorgeous shot of you!!

Love the new look!!!!
October 5th, 2012  
Those look great on you. The shape is perfect for your face. Mine are also tortoiseshell but I wear them all the time. I take them off for reading and sometimes for using the computer, like now.
October 5th, 2012  
Beautiful! I love the tone in the black and white.

October 5th, 2012  
@gerry Thank you very much Gerry, so kind!!!
October 5th, 2012  
Pat, I find myself getting into the tension of it and shouting at the TV!! Is it bad to say I play Deal on the pub machines where you answer questions to have the opportunity to pick boxes...me and my mate have great fun with it!! (Just don't tell anyone!!)
October 5th, 2012  
PS i'm watching tonight's on 4+1 and we're right on a cliffhanger moment....!!
October 5th, 2012  
@sparkle He is a great guy tonight & I wont tell you how much he gets!!!! We watch it on 4+1 many a time !!!

October 5th, 2012  
@peggysirk Thank you so much Peggy! I think the frames give my face more structure , the others were a bit non descript!
October 5th, 2012

Very distinguished Pat.
October 6th, 2012  
Wonderful selfie Pat and the glasses look great
October 6th, 2012  
Very nice!

@snowy Good for you Diana, I think it's a brilliant concept!
October 6th, 2012  
@kwiksilver @vickisfotos @digitalrn @bkbinthecity
Thank you all very much, always a bit of a gamble if you have picked the right ones!!!!
October 6th, 2012  
They are very smart!
Suit you very nicely.
October 6th, 2012  
@meisen325 LOL - I like the thought of 'unreading' glasses!! These look really great Pat - Adam would approve - he likes a nice tortoiseshell pair - and he's very trendy! It's horrible choosing glasses when you can't see what you look like - I'm sure I saw a thing in Boots where they were photographing people using a webcam and then showing them the picture once they'd put their old pair back on!! Nice camera too - a nice shirt! Deal or No Deal is addictive - I do the ironing to it sometimes but quite often people have got quite a big win and then gamble it and I'm thinking if somebody told you to put that much on a horse you'd think they were crazy!!

@sparkle Shaking head.... ;0)
October 6th, 2012  
@judithg I agree you can be too greedy!
I have discovered a slight flaw in my specs this morning, they are leaving a red mark either side of my nose....not a good look!!!! My old ones had adjustable cushions on either side but these are fixed into the frame. Will have to learn to just perch them on the bridge of my nose for the time being until the optician can have a look . Have a horrible feeling if I had gone to my local opticians as usual they would have pointed this out but these large chains perhaps not as particular although I have no problem with the service. We shall see!
October 6th, 2012  
great shot and specs!
October 6th, 2012  
Probably need to adjust the fit - it's all about getting the right people - my favourite optician moved to Bury St Edmond's - I'm tempted to go over there as I haven't been happy since!
October 6th, 2012  
A beautiful selfie.
October 6th, 2012  
You look lovely! A very nice selfie.
October 7th, 2012  
Well hello there happy Pat! *waves* Lovely selfie! And there's no shame in loving deal or no deal - I was a box opener once! (But not an actual contestant, sadly). I have been to see it live probably 10-15 times!!!
October 8th, 2012  
@wrighty Wow licky you& Deal or No Deal has many more secret admirers than I ever thought!! I have never ever heard one person before this say they watched it!!!!! I would love to open a box!
October 8th, 2012  
@wrighty and even lucky you!!!!!!
October 8th, 2012  
@judithg Well I went into Vision Express & the heated the specs up & adjusted the fit!!!!!! I didn't expect that!!!
October 8th, 2012  
Such a nice self portrait, i love the tones here, and you look great, Pat!!:)
