The races went well!

Well, the weather was lovely, the horses ran well, out 1400m race was excting (and a well-deserved win). The connections said he'd been unlucky before, so it mushr have been his day.

We have had some feedback from having a presence at Otaki. A couple of patients saw our ad, and commented that they didn't see me there (we were in the marquee village) so we had a good chat about the day.

We have had a quieter year with the free-sunglasses-for-new-entrants than ever before. Maybe it's because we had a lot of cloud and parents didn't think of taking up the offer. But the frames on offer were really nice and about 25 local boys and girls are looking sharp in their new shades.

There are always new and excting frames on offer from the reps, and the newest lens techology is Optifog, and we are getting some really poistive comments about that. At your next lens change, be sure to ask about it, as it is a really useful feature to add to the lesn coating. Definitely not a "solution looking for a problem"...mind you, I said that texting was a "solution looking for a problem" and I was wrong.
