Since glasses are so expensive and my 4-year-old recently carefully put his in a knee pocket before entering the sandpit for some rough play, I'll do a good deed for a reader. Emily Smith writes: "A man came into the Paris Mt Eden Bakery asking if he had left his glasses ... I later found them tucked behind the pie warmer. So come and collect them."
