binoculars are one of those words which are fun to abbrev(iate). in our family we call them 'binos', whilst kezia calls them 'oculars'. we have some friends who call them 'binocs'

whatever they are they are quite fantastic and it would be good to spend one day a month wearing them instead of normal glasses.

i saw these glasses on a table in a restaurant through their window and took a photo not expecting it to come out.

but it did and looks quite arty i think. who'd a thought it ?

i haven't seen any glasses on the street for ages so i was very pleased to see these safety ones.

the writing on wings of modern airplanes tell us to not stand on certain parts. in my experience it's better not to stand on any part of an airplane's wing. in fact, i think it's much better to just stay inside the airplane.

jane was very pleased to see they'd glued some yellow glasses to the top of the wing.

since that miracle eye-sight cure was launched a few days ago people have been abandoning glasses and lenses everywhere.

a double finder this evening. firstly i saw an abandoned jacket on my tube train so i reported it to a guard as i thought it could be considered a 'suspect package'.

the guard wasn't that bothered and just picked it up and swung it over his shoulder, which isn't the best way of diffusing a potentially terrorist situation. but at least then we knew it was't a bomb.

then, when i got to Paddington station i found these glasses on the platform. i picked them up and took them to a guard, who, guess what, wasn't that bothered. he tried to give them back to me. i said "they're not mine, i just found them" but he wasn't convinces, so I ran off to get my train.
