The Distance To The Moon
I can’t believe I haven’t written a follow-up post since Tuesday. It has been a gruesome week with winter storm followed by hard snow and ice on the roads and grounds. I feel pain in my hips when I get home because of the effort I exert when walking on ice. A number of people were rushed to the hospital after falling, slipping or tripping on icy surface. I guess you know this kind of story so I will not tell more about it. Anyhow, I survived the week without bruises or fractured body, thank God. So with hubby. I just wish it would rain a little to get rid of the toublesome slippery surface.
It’s certainly soothing to see something colorful up in the sky when everything down here is a chill. Winter nights can be magical sometimes and when I see a night that seems to be magical, I want to capture it as it is, like the photo below. It was another full moon night but the sky was amazingly in clear blue spectacle.

The distance to the moon seems so near, yet so far. I zoomed in my image to get a clearer view of the moon and the red color around it becomes visible too. It can’t be hot in the moon, eh?
Someone Threw A Shopping Cart
If you heard that Europe is suffering from intense cold this winter, it’s definitely true. The snow on the ground hasn’t melted yet since last month and it seems to be snowing some nights that when I go out in the morning snow is covering the ground anew. It could have been better if it rained sometimes to keep the snow from becoming ice, because it’s really hard to walk on icy ground. I remember hubby’s brother broke his ankle when he tripped over a slippery surface about five years ago. And I don’t want this to happen to me so I am being careful when I’m out, especially that the snow that’s been on the ground for days can be treacherous.
It’s not only the ground can be icy with this extreme cold but the waters in the lakes and canals. The intensity of cold can in fact seen on waters. Just like what I saw a week ago in Gothenburg’s harbour canal, its surface was covered with ice. Then someone might have wanted to know if the ice was compact and threw a shopping cart in the canal. I had no idea how someone did it cos the shopping cart stood as if it was placed purposely that way.
A shopping cart on icy canal?
The canal was quite full of rubbish that day and it was not a pretty sight. Anyhow, the one who threw that shopping cart wasn’t a fool to take a walk or jump on, or he or she must have been frozen to death, lol! The ice was not stable and it would break with heavier weight.
The Need For New Eyeglasses
I told hubby a few weeks ago that I needed to change my eyeglasses anytime soon. He got his new pairs a year ago and believe me, it costed us a fortune. This is one reason why we don’t change glasses more often, the price is exorbitantly high. It’s always over $200 to be exact and I am nonetheless unhappy to pay this high when I can’t even find the pairs that suit me. I take whatever there is just to have my eyeglasses changed. I’ve learnt that the ideal interval to change eyeglasses is one year after the last prescription, but mine are almost two years already so it gives me a thought to save a penny each day to buy me new eyeglasses this year.
I took the chance to visit an eyeglass store days ago and peeked on the kind of eyeglasses it had on display. But I couldn’t find this pair I found at Zenni Optical. Sad to say I can’t go to the actual store’s location because it’s in the other continent. But good to know that they ship foreign orders. The first thing I should do now is to go to my regular optometrist and get a new prescription. Then I can have this pair of brown/gold eyeglasses delivered to my address. For a price of $23.95, I can have four different pairs, yet it doesn’t exceed to what I paid for my old eyeglasses from my optometrist and eyeglass store.
Furthermore, Zenni Optical takes pride in bringing high quality product of great durability, safety and comfort at truly reasonable and affordable prices. This is proven to be true when I read the article, Cheap eyeglasses are a reality. Check out Eric’s review of Zenni Optical. Despite of the low cost of Zenni Optical’s glasses, the quality remains high because they manufacture their product with the latest modern materials and bring them out from their own factories so their own brand speaks its name. Why should I go for popular brand names when I can get the same quality from Zenni brand.
