Not the best day..

Today started badly and really just got worse.
I woke with one glued shut with conjunctivitis. It had felt sore and gritty a few days ago but I thought it had cleared. Apparently not. 
I caught a bus up to Clifton and found a geocache then walked across the bridge and back. Great view.
Then I thought about brunch and walked back towards the city centre and ended up on the same Grain Barge as yesterday. But great as yesterday was today was a disaster. After waiting at least half and hour the waiter asked if I was still waiting since people who ordered after me were being served. He said he’d check; came back and said it was on its way. After 50 minutes when two men who came in long after me were served I left. By this time it was midday so I thought haloumi fries and Hooch at Wetherspoons. But they had no Hooch. Since my only reason for going into Wetherspoons is for Hooch I thought I’d wait a while and have a late afternoon meal.
I looked for a few caches with no joy then headed to the shopping mall where I chose a Greek meal. Very tasty it was too; so today wasn’t all bad.
On my way home I searched for another cache which again proved elusive because it entailed standing on a wall. So I headed back to the hotel. I suppose I should have walked more slowly since I couldn’t see clearly out of one eye but that is hindsight. The reality was I tripped and fell flat on my face and smashed my specs. Three kind passers by helped me up and gave me tissues since my nose was pouring blood. But pride hurt more than face! 
So my hope for the morning is that my conjunctivitis has cleared and I don’t have a black eye. And one of my first tasks when I am home is to visit Specsavers...
