I unsuccessfully tried an anti-foogging spray and also a cloth that was advertised to keep glasses clear whilst you wear a mask, expensive experiments but at least our bathroom mirror seems to stay clear so not a total waste of money.

I wash my specs daily with washing up liquid. I leave the tiniest amount on the lenses as I was taught. Not a foggy spec session once, apart when walking into a hot and humid Tesco from a cold exterior.

Now my brother-in-law has been rushed into hospital. Not Covid related apparently but he's told me he's there for a week. It does leave my poor nephew on his own over Christmas.

Simplist solutuion is a glasses cord so I can take off my glasses off but not lose or break them as a result.

I finally found the solution to that annoying problem of steaming specs... I just remove the lenses and wear the frames!

I suffer a similar issue, it has been worse this time of year, I did hear they roll a bit of loo roll and put this at the bridge I will try this when I have to shop again, which hopefully will be next Tuesday/Wednesday to get medication.

Have you tried a visor and wearing your glasses?7
Wipe the inside surface of visor with neat washing up liquid

No he has no friends and no family nearby in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Now that we'll be in tier 4 on Boxing Day we can't go to my sisters as planned and she can't come to us on New Years day.

I'll meet up with her next week at a nature reserve (Malling Down) that's about midway between us for a present exchange and to see her new dog. We'll have a walk together. Just need to chose a decent day.

If your sister lives alone you can form a support bubble with her it doesn't matter about being in tier 4, that is what I can legally do with my parents over Christmas.

Unfortunately she's already in a support bubble with her friend who'll be there Xmas day. Two bubbles are not allowed to overlap.

Yes that's true.

Thanks Storm Bella. I love repairing my fence over and over again..Lucky it's only 2 panels to replace. Next door but one's chalet shed has completely collapsed. 2nd time in a year. However the damage is nothing like the 1987 storms..so far.

'sigh' well after almost 2 weeks of lazing about doing nothing much apart from eating & drinking, gaming and/or watching movies until 2am followed by a late rise in the morning . . . I'm wondering how the heck I'm going to be wide awake and getting ready for work at 4:45 tomorrow morning

hopefully I won't be the only one who needs to be 'left alone' until around 9am

I feel your pain.... first time in six years I’ve had two weeks off at Christmas with no on call or requirement to work. 5AM alarm on so I can catch up with my staff in Singapore.

Before then there’s ‘the fear’ to contend with
