As I never use a hand bag...I only take my wallet purse with me when I go out shopping, I'm not sure if they would fit in it. The two pairs of glasses are always in one of the zippered compartments. The frames of the glasses are only narrow, so they don't take up a lot of room. And while roaming the aisle trying to read the print and while at the checkout glasses perched on my nose are hassle and hands-free.<br /><br />Some loupes can be attached to key rings, of course. I might look into to it...if I can find my glasses! Just joking...I've a million pairs of glasses dotted around here!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by, Jenny. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-28048368561978906372017-02-26T14:52:56.422-08:002017-02-26T14:52:56.422-08:00I had a reasonably busy weekend, Sandra.

Well, actually, I left before the party was over.

Do you have any recipes with jerusalem artichokes by the way? I'm getting a teeny bit tired of making soup out of them! As for things getting smaller, you could try carrying a loop around, they fold up really small and some have 3 lenses. I have to say that people seem to be talking a bit less clearly these days, actually.... have you noticed that? :DJenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-85564180186930357702017-02-25T07:24:32.249-08:002017-02-25T07:24:32.249-08:00I want one of those arrowroot biscuits!

Nice one cobber! I didn't realise you were a "lay person". My mother warned me about women like you... As for small writing, I share your annoyance. Sometimes I need to use a magnifying glass and my eyes are not bad for a lad of 63.

I have no need to use it otherwise. I have no intention of walking along the supermarket aisles talking on a damn phone. I don't like phones that much! They're a necessity only...to be used only when absolutely necessary! I charge my little mobile/cell phone weekly; that's the only time I touch it. I'm on a cheap 12 month plan, It is solely and purely for emergency purposes, only.<br /><br />We're told to always read the small print...but that's becoming nigh impossible!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-33874857439866242602017-02-23T04:31:00.069-08:002017-02-23T04:31:00.069-08:00I have these magnifying glasses that are three tim...I have these magnifying glasses that are three times and even then I can barely read the small print and needing to be gluten free I have to read every label; and yes things have gotten extremely small in the print on packaging, even the phone book is tiny.

I've always been bothered by glare, it's why I wear sunnies everytime I step outside even on cloudy days, in case the sun breaks through. And there's always glare from car windows and all those shiny glass buildings as we pass on the bus. I spend a lot of travel time with my eyes closed, sometimes I fall asleep and miss my stop.

When I learn how to increase the size of the font here in the comments, I shall do so. I can still easily read it (with my reading glasses on...I only wear glasses for reading), but I shall look into it.<br /><br />I couldn't be bothered making my own puff pastry these days, Graham...and like you, if I was making vanilla slices, I would be using the bought product, too. But even better, when I feel like one (or two) I buy one from my local bakery because the bakers there make a wonderful vanilla slice. I only ever have one or two (slices) a year. I usually treat myself one when I pick up my Hot Cross buns on Easter Sunday morning! :)<br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-84712211906918020072017-02-21T13:47:28.487-08:002017-02-21T13:47:28.487-08:00I've not made them for ages, but I used to oft...I've not made them for ages, but I used to often make them when I was cooking in restaurants for vegetarian diners.
