I had an appointment at Specsavers this morning.
I have been losing my hearing aids left right & centre while I have been wearing a mask.
The last ones went in the washing machine! @sarah19 made me a lovely drawstring pouch to put them in & I have been using it but one lapse taking them out & shoving them in my pocket....
Anyway I am all kitted out with new ones now so firing on all cylinders....pouch in bag ready to put them in when mask is on!
Three good things:
1. I took the chance of walking down to the sea front to get a few photos while I was there.
2. A pretty much empty promenade & the tide was just out far enough.
3. M&S stir fry tonight!
Love this Pat. When I first saw your post and saw 'Specsavers' I thought this must have been your eyesight test!!! What a terrific view with the added bonus of the cyclist!
Took Grandma to the hospital. Followed all covid guidelines. Took off disposable masks at exit. Grandma went 'oh no my hearing aids have gone'. Then I had to rummage through the bin of masks to find them. Thankfully they were on top. Not our best moment. Used a lot of the hand gel at the exit after that!
@bkbinthecity They have had lots of people ringing in saying they have lost the hearing aids....I took mine out again as soon as I got out of the shop....put them in my little bag for safety!
@julzmaioro You do see them in the weirdest ways....men are particularly bad at wearing them I find...under the chin etc. What with hearing aids, glasses & no lip reading life can be difficult!
Great photo ....looks like a great day for a walk.
Glad your little bag is useful....but I can understand how such little things can get lost.
Enjoy anyway! 😊
This is a great perspective and it was interesting to read the comments. I hadn’t thought about hearing aids, but my mother in law wrapped her false teeth in a napkin and set it on her tray once, and those got tossed in the trash. The nursing home attendant said it was actually not a rare occurrence
Now when wearing your mask, you are in a world of silence or mumbling! Might not be all bad! I do like this wide view of the promenade. Everybody seems to be behaving themselves and the CV cases are going down.
@newbank The hearing lady said loads of people losing them....I have three friends goi g to ring up for hearing referrals in the morning! Poor mum I can completely sympathise. Glad you found them....trouper!
@maggiemae They say the numbers are going down but still think we will be in Tier 3 on Thursday. They say until March....all the hospitality places will be on tenterhooks until it’s announced what Tier we are on in our area.
I love this shot, how considerate of the cyclist to come along at just the right time.
Must be expensive losing your hearing aids all the time. You will have to have strings attached to them like we used to with mittens when the kids were little.
So glad you like this one..must admit I was pretty pleased with it myself! 😃 I could see the cyclist coming in from the left out of the corner of my eye so waited...
@sangwann All this writing are jokes Dione...silly music hall jokes made by the old comedians...Morecambe & Wise, Tommy Cooper, Ken Dodd etc...you might not have heard so them but all famous in the UK. It’s quite fascinating to read...this is only a small part of it. Very popular with the holiday makers in better times!
Really interesting shot. I've tried a few but my favourite masks are still the first ones I bought https://edelinelee.com/products/pack-of-three-masks-spunbond. They're really light and the other thing is the two cords go over your head - one sits around your neck and the other higher up your head. Not to everyone's tastes but I find I prefer them to fannying about with the ones that go over your ears - don't have hearing aids, but they do mess with my earrings and glasses.
Sadly...can’t give this all the plaudits it deserves. Wonderfully British, zany...and so much work and effort by many to capture the longstanding pleasure for visitors from near and/or far etc.to enjoy.
Gi-normous FAV!

Thank you both...
