sunglasses

About ten years ago I bought myself some sunglasses, good sunglasses. I lost them recently and had to replace them.

Today I marched into my favorite opticians and asked to be served. I told them that I needed: "good, but not expensive, big, and I don't give a hoot about fashion" sunglasses.

In the ten years I wore the previous ones, they probably went in and out of fashion a number of times, or never were really in fashion. But they did their job.

Even if they hadn't run away, it was time to replace them.

But how will people recognize me?
