.. over the hill.
I was in the opticians recently to buy some new glasses. My daughter was with me to help me choose. It is very difficult to see what glasses suit us because we need our glasses on to see what suits us.!
I chose two pair of glasses and asked the sales girl to put my prescription lens into them. She said that I needed to have an eye test first. I told her that I had an eye test only ten months ago. She looked at my daughter and said in a quiet voice.
" It is wise to have an eye test every year once you are 70."
I was completely invisible to her .
I think I am now at the age where I am seen and not heard..
