Made it back to the optometrist with frame decision. Glasses are now ordered (1/2 frame, antiglare coating, apparently because it is a half frame, the lenses are slightly reinforced around the edges - all sorts of things to up the price) Just as well ducked in in the 20 min free round lunch, cause the computing course lasted til 5:15pm, rather than stretching out to the cruisy 4pm finished of the last 3 days. We would hit the hard brain bendy stuff right around 3:30-4pm in the the afternoon - but then I think I was complicating things for myself in the later problems. Will go up early tomorrow and practice more.

Made it to a talk by the local Astronomical Society this evening. Quite an entertaining one on Sundials, Calenders and the fun of calculating Easter. A good overview of the history fo the wester calender, for the Roman through various permutations and all the little fiddly things that need to be taken into account or can be different. The next two talks also sound interesting (though the timing of one may be entertaining), so will be back.

Definite sleep time I think. Z keeled over about 1/2 an hour ago. Have to remember about the lack of 9:30pm train on weeknights.
