Yesterday was my 42nd birthday.
Oddly enough I have a lot more peace with that than 40 or 41. And now I get to be the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything (aka 42, a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy joke).
But one plus of getting old is more opportunities to buy stylish things. Today I went to the opticiens and bought myself a nice pair of prescription reading glasses, although I will have to be patient as they won’t be ready for a few weeks.
I grew up with a distinct preference for blue, although purple (and green) have started to pique my interest the last few years. So I was thrilled to see these reading glasses, which are mostly blue with a hint of purple here and there.
Note: technically I’m already old, because I bought a pair of bifocal glasses last summer.
