Washington's Jonas has reached the UK and has now been named Storm Gertrude. The strong winds and rain make it an unsuitable day for outdoor photography or for wearing sunglasses.
However I found a model prepared to show off a pair with engraved lenses.
This pair were a 'freebie' from a golf tournament in Norway in the 1980s.
The 'engraved' lens shows who they were given to.

Yours truly |
The other lens had an engraved logo for the annual Oilmen's Tournament at Stavanger Golf Club.
A search for other lenses produced these old pairs - oh why haven't they been thrown away.
 |
From back to front - Burberry and two pairs of RayBan's |
They could not possibly have been mine.
As I have got older and taken other hobbies up again, my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be.
I have to resort to the use of:
 |
Lenses that magnify |
But if I'm honest they are not:
 |
Big enough |
Perhaps I should have been aware of the lens that magnified this.
 |
Oops |
Honest I wasn't trying to take a selfie with this.
 |
A phone that's not smart enough to take photos in either direction |
Mind you it's lens is a thing to be admired.
 |
Camera lens |
There was a time when I wore contact lenses but not ones discarded like these:
 |
Dailies worn by my wife |
She used to wear spectacles for many years as this earlier photo shows.
I wonder if that was the pair with which my ear was once entangled in a Lincolnshire cinema.
I can hardly say my lenses were steamed up and I didn't see it coming.
