Unintended consequence of taking lemsip for a day - getting contact lenses on and off is like scraping artex off a ceiling.

COVID/flu booster update - feel fine. Couple of lemsips needed, that's all. But.... Spikevax is a stupid name for a booster shot 💉

Temporary contact lenses are joyous but they aren't my real prescription which means I'm also wearing reading glasses to work and the world looks like a cheap 3D movie through them.

People in Israel and Palestine are suffering. It’s a war. It’s a genocide. It’s apartheid. It’s a state of permanent terror pitting neighbours against each other. It has to end. Is this motion helping with that? Nope. It’s pissing people off and making us look like we don’t understand the nuance.

Brilliant appointment with optician, but surprise ending: "now wear these lenses for 4 hours. No more. No less." This is very exciting but also mildly inconvenient.
