Share Your World – 20/10/26

Thank you Di for this week’s questions.

1. Do you wear glasses, contacts, bi-focals, none.

Not any more. I used to be blind as a bat and wore glasses since I was 11 years old. As I grew up, I would transition to contact lenses for special events etc but in my twenties I received the opportunity to have laser eye surgery and I haven’t looked back. It was just amazing to have my sight back!

2. What made you laugh last week?

Lunch with friends, I ways get a laugh with them.

3. What is your favourite flower?

Ooh tough question. I do love a Frangipani. They’re just beautiful and remind me of being on tropical islands. We also have them growing wild here in Sydney and they always make me smile.

4. What annoys you……….. misbehaving children, people, traffic, pets, decor in the house, anything else?

Oh misbehaving children is a good one and even more so, their parents who let them misbehave. At the moment my biggest grievance is the use of e-bikes. They are everywhere in Sydney and they don’t ride on the roads, instead they ride on the footpaths, nearly taking out the pedestrians. It’s just so dangerous. I also strongly dislike people walking with their phones, they fail to look up when walking and I have lost count of the amount of times they have nearly walked into me. One day I won’t move out of the way and let them walk into me.

Gratitude: surviving the gym class yesterday as it was brutal.

  1. Hi Wayne. Thanks for sharing your world Funny about the phone users not looking up whilst walking. Saw the classic fail in a store when a kid was showing off having a mobile phone and walked straight into a display, knocking the whole thing flying. I laughed so hard, it was almost embarrassing!

  2. I agree with you about the bikes. We have bike lanes here but people still ride on the footpaths with both conventional and e-bikes. A few days ago someone on a bike brushed quite firmly against me as he passed and I almost fell. I’ve also seen similar things happen with other pedestrians. I’m starting to think that the city needs to install speed bumps on the footpaths but then that would interfere with those who have mobility issues, so I guess more enforcement is in order.
