That's decent idea. Can confirm that trying to power through with no specs and ridiculous zoom on screen only works for so long 😁

I'd go with an envious, 'make the most of it'. The downhill slide in close vision (apparently that's age? Yay.) has been parabolic in past couple of years
(Aware I'm way less troubled than others but I'm grumpy at how noticeable it is).

I recommend the floaty varifocals (close/screen/far) but you're right, switching between screen and dwgs is rubbish and still gives me a headache.
Do you know who we complain to about this?

On the subject of lemsips, why did they go with blackcurrant?
Surely orange would have been the more palatable choice? Full disclosure, warm blackcurrant makes me 🤢 at the very thought, so fair amount of bias here. Or is orange too close to lemon?
Anyway, fresh ginger acquired so toddies are go.

Defo improved (i mean, yay vertical!!), probably could work part of 2m but I'm holding the recovering line. Also, capsule lemsips seem to kick in much quicker than drinkie lemsips. Someone brighter than me will know why or if I'm imagining this 😁

Happy to confirm, 'twas pleasing. Well done me.
Now completing reverse dinner with carrot sticks and an aldi or lidl fake domino's garlic bread (have a total mental block over which is which).
I'm ignoring any nutritional thoughts and being content that there was some interest in food.
