It’s been a while since I’ve participated in this challenge, but today, I am jumping back in to join Di’s Share Your World.

Are you ticklish?
Yes, I am.When we were kids, my siblings and I absolutely adored tickle-time with Dad. We’d try our best to tickle him back, but it was no use—he wasn’t the slightest bit ticklish!

What colour are your eyes?
Hazel/green

Do you wear glasses/contact lenses?
I’m 72 years old and I have been seeing the world through lenses since my early 40s. Back in my teaching days, my little learners would excitedly shove their work right up to my nose. I couldn’t fathom why they all thought I needed such an up-close inspection! Naturally, I’d grab the book and extend it out to arm’s length, marveling at the newfound clarity—until the day my arms officially ran out of real estate. That’s when the penny (and the specs) dropped. At first, it was just a cozy relationship with reading glasses. But by 45, I was introduced to the marvel of varifocals, and oh, what a game-changer! No more juggling frames like a magician with a clumsy assistant—my glasses stayed put, and life came back into focus. Finally, the age of short arms was over! From that point onward, I actually started enjoying wearing glasses. They cater to all my needs—long distance, middle distance, and close-up. Plus, they’re coated for everything: working on the computer, braving the sunshine, and even night driving. I have no idea how one pair of specs manages to do it all, but I absolutely adore them!

This is exactly how I feel about my life.
