In true British fashion, we are forever complaining about the weather. ‘It’s too cold’, ‘it’s too wet’ or when the sun is actually out…. ‘it’s too hot!’
Throw into the mix a visual impairment and then it becomes, ‘It’s too dark’, ‘it’s too grey’, ‘it’s too bright’, ‘it’s too cloudy’ or ‘there isn’t enough cloud Coverage!’
I most definitely fall into the latter category……… I am definitely best suited to a dull grey day or a blue sky (but only in the summer months, not the winter -then the sun is to low!!)
This is something I am finding to be an issue more and more of late.
While sat in a friends car yesterday I put the sun visor down, but on a jaunty angle. The reason for this, wasn’t bright sunshine, rather a sky full of bright white clouds ready to turn black at any given moment and empty their content over those unfortunate enough not to be dressed for it!
My friend asked if I was ok? it was then that I realised I had never actually told anyone about these issues that I
So I started to explained it only it isn’t actually that easy to explain, because it is still pretty hard for me to understand and make sense of it myself.
By having a bright cloudy sky my eyes are drawn to it, I become like a magpie! I can see the bright shiny, but then I find it hard to see anything else, not that I can see much!
So. By putting down the visor I block out the light,stopping myself being drawn to it and am able to try and focus on other things, like being able to see the colour of the car in front of us, or the shop and building colours?
Just more of the little things that are so insignificant to others, but are beginning to become more and more noticeable to me as I struggle to see them!
This is just s small hurdle I am to overcome before I can continue on my way.
