for Friday Fictioneers, and loosely based on Rochelle’s picture of glass roses.
I saw Rosey on Saturday in the mall. Said she was getting some glasses.
‘Wine glasses? Beer?’ I asked.
She giggled, poked me in the ribs then trotted off.
I was enjoying a quiet pint last night. Suddenly there was an enormous crash. Someone had walked straight into a drinks-laden table! I spun round to see a young lady wiping the laps of three beer-drenched guys with her scarf. Then she turned and headed my way. It was Rosey sporting an enormous pair of spectacles.
‘Hello, Rosey’ I chuckled. She raised her glasses and peered from beneath them.
‘Oh, it’s you! Like my specs?’
‘Nice, but you can’t see anything!’
‘I know’
‘Good idea then?’
‘Probably not!’
‘Drink?’
Chardonnay, please.
This is my 124th story about My Friend Rosey. The last one, ‘My friend Rosey, an inflatable dummy and some gin’ can be found Here! My favorites are on a dedicated site simply called My Friend Rosey.
Friday Fictioneers is hosted by Rochelle who also provided the photograph.

Dear Keith,
Sandra beat me to the punch. Bi focals are hard to get used to, aren’t they? Chardonnay is a grand solution. L’chaim.
Shalom,

Tell her they will make glasses with no prescription so she can enjoy the look the frames give her without bumping into things.
