The day begins.
Me: This is Shrove Tuesday
J: What, already! - I just woke up.
Comparison shopping for glasses for J. Getting pretty informed on what he wants. Know a lot more about lens indexes (indices?) than we once did. There are quite a few optical shops in Larnaca but only two labs in Cyprus that make lenses, one in Nicosia and one in Limassol. Would have thought that with all the competition prices would be similar, but not a bit of it. The best quote on frames with high index lenses comes in €165 (£121, $233 CAD) under the highest - comparable quality. Even allowing that the highest might have been prepared to move a little if nudged, that's quite remarkable.
