I have a couple of letters sitting on my desk, waiting to be dealt with. One is a reminder that my car registration is due but I don't have to deal with that straightaway; March 23rd is the due date. The other is a reminder from Specsavers that I'm due for a check-up of my hearing. I'd like to think that the company is genuinely concerned about my well-being but I know they are anticipating a little pay-out from the government for the cost of the test and the possibility of on-selling some flash, new hearing aids.
I don't know what to do. I already have perfectly-working hearing aids but I never wear them. I seem to be coping without them and have stopped saying "Eh?" when I miss something in the flow of conversation. I used to use them regularly when I was going to the gym: I could listen to podcasts when I was on the treadmill without having earphones with their dangling cables; but I don't go to the gym anymore.
Still, it won't cost me anything to go and I'm at the age when I should have my bits checked regularly. Our friend, Robyn, is here this week so I'll leave it 'till after she's gone. It'll be nice to have a trip ntothe big city and I might squeeze in a visit to KMart if Marilyn is amenable.
