    Like all Inner West hipsters, I recently went to Dresden to get new glasses and contacts. Unfortunately I ran into a few problems. I have no bridge to my nose and their frames have no nose pads, so they sit directly on my cheeks very close to my eyes. Also, my prescription is so high that they were unable to create the highest-index lenses for the Large size frames (I have a giant head), and the medium-index ones caused serious distortion around the sides. I ended up with just these reading glasses, which I like but I’m constantly having to push back up my face. 😕 Any recommendations for somewhere in Sydney that caters to melon-headed, tiny-nosed, extremely short-sighted nerds? 🤓

    A hot, sunny summer’s day! I rode my bike over to the @knittersguildnsw meeting, then across Alexandria Park and stopped to watch a bit of the cricket. Then over to @bracketbrewing to meet the Snook for a cheeky beer, before finishing up at the @thealex_hotel for lunch. ☀️🚴‍♀️🍻 (2023 beer garden count: 1!)


    This morning’s challenge: cycle to Marrickville. 🚴‍♀️
