Things I have bought or nearly bought due to lockdown

My natural dislike of tracking means I've thought about those tags and discarded the idea. Now I've reached a certain age I might revisit that plan. Problem is I'd need to tag everything in the house (remotes, keys, glasses, phone, cooking utensils, whatever I was reading, superglue, brush cleaner, pot of paint colour X, rules, playsheets...)

String.

Just attached a bit of string to everything, tie the other end to your belt, then you can just pull each item as you need it to you.

What could go wrong.

As I replace my glasses, the old ones get relegated to less and less important standbys.,fortunately my prescription has not changed much over the lat few years. I only use them for computer work, reading painting etc.

Main reading glasses kept by the bed.
Previous prescription, one pair downstairs one in den for painting with
Before that i have  l;ast resort  pairs left in the car and a pair left at work.

And yes I have had to use the last resort pairs on several occasions, as not needing them to drive means its easy to go out without them

See your typing is improved by those Phil. I'm luck my prescription hasn't changed for two years, so my spare pair work fine.

Pendraken package arrived this lunchtime.  Interesting timing that it arrives on VE Day.  Very difficult to put it to one side with a gloved hand and wait.

I have two pairs of the strongest glasses the Poundshop does.

Why are they never at my painting table?

Amazon apparently still sell those key fobs that whistle back at you when you mislay sommat.

Mind you...The reviews for a lot of them are somewhat less than complimentary. (They beep or whistle at the slightest noise.....Driving their owners loopy. )

Given that air recirculation is one of the reasons given as to why aircraft seats shouldn't be removed or left empty in future I'm pretty sure it's still a thing and not going to stop any time soon.

Aircraft air recirculation systems are insanely good these days.  My wife read something the other day: the filters are close to as good as those in the full high-dependency gear medics wear.
