Life is a progression.

Sometimes forward and sometimes backward. Thus we do evolve.

Right. There was a major backward step earlier today but it seems to be sorted. Someone switched on the fucking Olympics on the fucking television where it is a major distraction. Those who know me know my attitude to sport and the Olympics are the ultimate endurance test for those of us with finer sensitivities.

The endless stream of activities on the television weren’t helped by the fact that I couldn’t wear my glasses. I gather it was swimming for a lot of the time. There seemed to be a lot of water anyway and the fact that all I could see was a sort of blurry wetness didn’t help.

Then came the forward progression. This came in the shape of Daughter who came to visit. I don’t mean it was her shape that was significant but rather what she brought. I had put my thinking cap on to solve the problem of a pair of spectacles that require a nose that isn’t there. I came up with the idea of a baseball cap stylishly reversed in the current trend, providing a strap over the forehead to which the said spectacles could be attached.

It works!

All right there are a couple of teething problems, but Rome wasn’t built in a millennium so one must expect the odd setback. The general mirth and hilarity amongst the nursing staff doesn’t help but genius must endure its detractors in order to progress.

I have gotten this far which is quite an achievement. I haven’t squinted at the screen yet.

I also got Daughter to accidentally knock the sound off the Olympics so sanity is slowly being restored.

I might even grab myself a wee doze…….
