Going Bust in the Glass Menagerie!

My good wife & and I are getting older. No surprise in that statement perhaps as it would appear to be a phenomenon shared by all mankind. Furthermore, I hasten to add that this aging process has not quite advanced to the stage of utter senility and although we may differ in our assessment of this process, our daughters have helpfully advanced the explanatory notion that we are no longer the proverbial 'spring chickens'! However the effects of this advancing age are making themselves apparent in ever increasingly frustrating ways! For example, one or other of us is likely to misplace our mobile phone at least once a month. However, we have overcome this minor irritation by simply calling the 'lost' phone until we successfully locate it. A more serious problem however arises when we misplace our glasses. Before you deem to offer advice like:you 'should have gone to spec savers', may I saw that we have no problem with seeing through our respective glasses but rather with seeing them at all. There have been times when I have wondered how creamy the shampoo was only to find later on 'seeing' the bottle that I had been using hair 'conditioner' to wash my hair. A problem of ever greater significance came to light when my wife commented while driving that the bicycle in the distance was a bit far out on the road only to find that without her glasses she was mistaking the two wheel vehicle for a large 8 wheeled articulated truck which was heading straight for us! So in desperation we put as it were 'our thinking glasses on' and came up with a radical solution that almost made us 'bust a gut' at its ingenious simplicity. We have simply co-opted two busts from our odd ball collection (it makes a change from collecting wine bottles i suppose) and are using them as a kind of his & her glasses receptacle. Hallelujah! We can now easily locate our glasses and can see our way towards a brighter and clearer future and i think you will agree that it is worth raising a glass, or in this case two pairs of glasses, to that!
