Oh joy unbounded, unfettered and un-everything else! I have found my missing lens! For reasons known only to the universe it lodged itself in one of the trimming things on the edge of the mattress. I didn`t even think of looking for it there! Anyway all that aside, I have now popped it into the empty frame and I CAN SEE PROPERLY!! WHOOOOh ! I cannot convey to you the relief, so I`ll leave it to these chaps ....  |

Hurrah, Mort!  I shall take this opportunity to mention that I need new glasses. There's nothing wrong with the ones I've got, but plenty wrong with my eyes... |

Know what you mean, Ruth. Should we ask for a refund, d`ya think? We were obviously issued with sub-standard equipment. Outrageous! |

The question is, who do we approach for the refund?  |

Happy for you Mort. I'd be lost without my glasses. And in my days of wearing contact lenses I was forever dropping a lens on the floor... |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

The empty spectacle frame... (was that what was causing confusion, John?)
Mort: hurrah!
I thought we were back onto contact lens, I can't keep up with this place  and it's goodnight from him  |

Well, having just posted one happ in the Computers thread, here's another one: Saw one of my closest friends last night, who I've seen only very intermittently for the last 6 months, partly because of my own issues and partly because he's been more depressed than usual, and for longer than usual, and it had got to a point where I felt I couldn't help him (a) because he wouldn't let me in and (b) because I'd been quite depressed myself last summer and felt he hadn't been very sympathetic to me and that the relationship had become quite strained. I hoped, and sort of knew, that it would sort itself out in the end and it now seems finally that it is doing, and last night he seemed back to normal (his version of normal at least). He also gave me this late combined Christmas/birthday present, which made me very happy indeed:   |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

I suspected you might say that, opi! I think I might have to try and read Volume One first, though ...  In fact, since some preternaturally kind soul also got me this for Christmas  I'm quite tempted to devote a large chunk of 2008 to listening through those two composers' works in chronological sequence, books at hand. |

Two words, Bryn: blind spot. (Or should that be deaf spot?) Anyway, I've already got the other two books ... |
