Eyes and AV

Apparently the universe is telling me that I need to have my eyes tested. I had two pieces of post today. One was a card from Boots saying I should book an eye test. The other was a letter from Vision Express saying I should book an eye test.
So maybe I should book an eye test. I probably would, if only the thought of going into the place and talking to the people didn't fill me with such dread. You win again, anxiety. *shakes fist*
In other news, I voted today. I said Yes to AV. Most people I've talked to or interacted with online say they're voting yes as well but everything I've seen seems to predict a No result. How disappointing.

I think that the latest polls had us outnumbered 2 to one - i suspect a bit of fixing by Murdoch and co is to blame .
People writing in in Metro, a free London newspaper, showed that most readers are in the YEs camp. I do hope that this will be an Agincourt moment, when a few brave souls willing to face the unpopularty and ridicule will give the political dinosaurs and their right wing cronies in the British Press a swift kick in the ballots by voting YES!
