This may give the Gransnet a giggle, I got up in the morning and put on my glasses, after a short while I said to my husband, I am not feeling to good this morning my eyes feel a bit blurred. He suggested I had breakfast and see if that was the reason.
I went through the normal routine of breakfast, taking dog for a walk but everything still did not look as clear as normal, thinking to myself I would have to go back to opticians and get eyes checked again. I then came back home and needed to go to the toilet took my glasses off and washed my hands and checked my eyes if a hair was in them or not and then put my glasses back on. Miracle my eyes were OK - I had been wearing my husbands glasses and not realized it neither had he. What a relief that there was nothing wrong except being a bit stupid.

The other evening quite late I was getting hot and bothered while wrestling to sew a mound of inner tent with my sewing machine. I was trying to stitch the black plastic groundsheet bit and the cotton kept breaking and eventually I couldn't see well enough to rethread the needle. Convinced tiredness was making my eyes bleary, I gave up and went into the lounge. It was then I realised my glasses were completely steamed up!

I don't always wear my hearing aids during the day if we are not going out, then need them for evening TV. DH is very good, in deference to my dodgy knee and fetches them for me. Twice I have sent him upstairs for them and actually I was wearing them !!

My OH is also known for not cleaning his glasses, and was highly embarrassed on a flight when the passenger on the seat next to him asked if she could clean them as it was distracting when talking to him

Oh dear, pleased to hear there is no problem with your eyes.So good to know I'm not the only one who has senior moments and gave me a giggle.

I once said to a woman I'd just met, "Oh, we have the same glasses." I was rewarded with a strange look because I was wearing my spare pair. I was still quite young then.

Sitting in a cafe with a friend we were both struggling to read the menu, until we realised we had picked up each other's glasses.
