When you're severely myopic, searching for your misplaced glasses is NO FUN.

Dammit, anyone got a hint?

given that it involves 4711, shouldn't you be able to smell it?  :-)

Get yourself some brightly coloured glasses strings/lanyards. Not for 
wearing your glasses around your neck but that bright coloured fuzz is 
more visible when you are not wearing them. Tried, tested and 
recommended by my wife.

Walk very softly, and do not wear hard-soled shoes.

ah, sorry.  the song came to memory when I read your post.  it'd be my "coping
mechanism", were I in a situation where the smell (stench!) of "deodorising"
volatiles is overpowering (out of context but apt still, John Cooper Clarke's
'Beasley Street': "..Through a constant haze of deodorant sprays, he says
retreat..").


regards, jr.
