Bandit - Great photos!

Ta very much :D I hope you enjoy the shades.

I also switch lenses to suit the conditions. I find the yellow ones quite good in low light. Click on the image then use the zoom to see what I mean.

Great shades, but not in high indexes (tut)

rob123. the Adidas Evil Eye Explorers look like these...and yes I use the clip-in insert all the time.

If you have a strong prescription then many of the wrap styles of sunnies cannot be made with a prescription lens, as you will get too much distortion. Instead you can get a clip in for sunnies like these:

I have a pair and they are quite tough. Alternatively get some decent goggles that can go over glasses.

So, unless I can do a last minute thing I'm going to have to give it a miss. :cry: :cry: :cry:

2010 anyone???

:cry:

Getting well is the most important thing you can do. There will be other winters to enjoy, if you get your recovery completed. Admin is quite correct, stay focused and keep up the recovery.

A 2010 meet up is something to look forward to, as well as good snow in April next year.
