Cheap glasses? (and update)

[juliet]

There is a slowly-growing crack in one of the lenses in my glasses. Can anyone recommend a cheap place that I can go to in-person for an eye test (haven't had one for a couple of years) and to get the lenses replaced? (have no particular desire for new frames; certainly not enough so to *pay* for the hideous experience of choosing the damn things).

ION: I have spent the last couple of weeks helping angelmine and my brand new oddson Luca :) He is very lovely, and it's been a great, if intense, experience. (I miss both of them now I'm back in London!) I have been singing to him, viz: Leonard Cohen (Hallejulah has 7 readily-available verses, which makes it excellent for singing babies to sleep), the Magnetic Fields (Papa Was A Rodeo being one of the few songs I already knew all the words to even when massively sleep-deprived the day after Luca was born), and Billy Bragg (The World Turned Upside-Down; indoctrinate 'em while they're young!). I feel I am fulfilling my oddparently duties well.

Have also been to Belfast for a funeral, which was and still is a sad thing.

Now I mostly want to sleep for a while.

I was much relieved that Owen liked me singing things that aren't nursery rhymes. He particularly likes Monty Python and They Might Be Giants, and Love Cats by The Cure is one of his favourites. It's quite fun finding out what he likes and doesn't like in fact - he has very definite preferences.
