Last night after trying again to wear in my new glasses from Optical Express I was suffering from tunnel vision and everything was going really dark. It stayed like that for almost 2 hours after taking the glasses off. It was really frightening because I thought there was something really wrong or that the Optical [...]

Optical Express Review
Posted in Nottingham on June 28, 2009 | 5 Comments »
On Friday I went for an eye test at Optical Express. The only reason I choose them were because of the special offers they were running at the time; 2 x pairs for one if you spend over £100 and £79.99 for desginer wear including lenses. Firstly the eye test did seem pretty good, but [...]

Today we only went for a short walk from Bulwell, past the Hucknall Aerodrome and continuing on criss-crossing the motorway several times. Its a good walk but not very challenging. This weekend the Aerodrome was having some sort of air show, though unlike other years, the planes were parked at the far end of the [...]

Last night we went for a meal at the Waltons Hotel, Bar and Restaurant located in the Park in Nottingham. The lifts arrived late which meant we got to the hotel dead on the dot, meaning that there wasn’t any time to spend any money in the bar area. Hotels tend to like you to [...]

This Saturday we did something that I consider a rarity since we all got together as a family and went out for a meal at the Boat House – a pub with a good dinning area. We go out together as a family perhaps 4 or 5 times a year. The Boat house is located [...]
Three Ponds – Nuthall Nottinghamshire

Last night we went for a meal to the three ponds in Nottingham. It was the first time we had been there since they have re-fitted the interior. They’ve changed it from a nice pleasant pub to one that looks like it’s been decorated by Stevie wonder. It’s an appalling improvement and as such the [...]

A couple of weeks ago I decided to look for some private physiotherapy in my local area. I actually emailed a few clinics in Nottingham with mixed results. Rachel Burr of The Heath Coat Street Clinic was very helpful by email and even gave me some interesting things to think about. You don’t often get [...]
Film theraphy

Sometimes when I am feeling particularly elderly with my achy body all I can do is lay down and this kind of getting rather boring. As a result I find myself listening to more radio shows or podcasts and watching far more films. I would watch more TV except its rubbish! One of my friends [...]

The Hemlock Stone public house is situated on Bramcote Lane in the suburb of Wollaton in Nottingham (NG8 2QQ). We initially called them a couple of days before hand on 0115 9284463 to book a table as apparently its always better to book when there’s bigger parties like ourselves. The Hemlock stone is actually located [...]
Tremour in nottingham Earthquake

It seems like the initial reports from America were inaccurate as in the UK the quake was measured to be an 5.4 – The strongest tremor for 25 years. The Nottingham Evening Post said it was the strongest quake for 250 years. I think the type setter slipped there and put in the zero by [...]
