*As someone who cannot function without glasses, I find transition lenses the best choice for regular lenses or inserts

So sad to hear this.

Not a great photo

Just got some elasticated ones off Amazon

I use Boleos for years which came with insets. They stopped making them.

My prescription is so strong that the only solution was to go with a pair of Oakleys which look like regular rather than cycling sunglasses and come with transition lenses so I can wear them day or night. Unlike my regular glasses and sunglasses they are not varifocal as I find that varifocal lenses confuse me when it comes to looking at the ground and perception of height. This may just be me. That said, to deal with my prescription they are specially ground to be very thin and they cost around £600. The bulk of this cost was on lenses. I wear straps on them to keep them on my head in crashes as i don't want them to break. Not at that price.

Mendy v Salah in the Africa Cup of Nations final.

Chelsea v Chelsea reject.

east of the Essex Road, which is definitely not Canonbury.

It is in the Ward of Canonbury (which curiously, Canonbury Square is not).

******* Road

Needed a new lock. Went on Wiggle. The lock I liked the look of, the Hiplock DX, was listed as £79.99.

As I was pondering it, an Amazon pop up appeared on my screen. The self same diamond rated lock was on sale for £47 with free next day delivery.

For £30 saving it was hard not to add to Bezos's billions.

How can Wiggle justify £30 on top plus extra for delivery?

I must know the wrong sort of Chelsea supporter then

Indeed. A true delight

He does live in Canonbury. I saw him on the ward border as he was returning home.

Do even Chelsea fans hate Frank then?

Not at all. He is up there with the greatest legends of the club. He is referred to as Fat Frank with tongue firmly in cheek. I would love to be as "fat" as him.

That said, he manages Everton now. It would be fun to see him take them down*

• but still more fun to see Newcastle relegated.
  

4/6 today. Much more fun

There was no deduction. Resolving the puzzle through deduction; that lightbulb moment, is the real fun of it.

I did it in 2/6 today which was weird and a little disappointing. It was over too quickly.

Starmer hit exactly the right tone. It was interesting to hear how quiet the Commons were when he spoke.

Amusing that the ineffectual Speaker has now (a day later) condemned Johnson's Savill jibe.

It looks as though Johnson will limp on for a while at least. His position as a "world leader" is gone. If he can't keep a group of twenty-something SPADs in check, how is he supposed to unite the western world? That said, a damaged Johnson limping on may well be better than Truss or Sunak

Marvellous

Holloway Road? If you ever fancy a coffee, please do give me a shout. It would be good to catch up.

Cycling into the City this morning I was turning right onto Southgate Road from Dove Road when a pedestrian stepped out in front of me. I braked and swerved and then realised that it was a particularly scruffy Dominic Cummings. “Oh, hello” I said. “Hello” he replied and we went about our days.

It is brilliant that you still love riding your bike.I think that I would have given into the temptation to have a couple of lazy weeks.

Fat Frank the Tory is on to a winner there. Two and a half year contract; unlikely to last a year so he gets a nice pay off and an 18 month sabbatical

Perhaps he could go to Everton after Fat Frank the Tory

Fat Frank the Tory will enjoy all the chippies up there, especially any that serve gravy on the chips.
