Some years ago, after my maze blindsimming experience
afore described, and at a time when I was becoming quite confident in
my blindsimming expeditions, I expressed to Chris my odd desire to be
blindfolded for a whole day, from when I got up in the morning until
I went to bed at night, if not longer. I have explained that I am
married (happily, in all other respects) to a man who doesn't even
know about my obsession with blindfolding. So it wasn't going to
happen – I thought.
But go to our web-site to see what happened :-

and I will continue on this theme next time!
Further to the comment on 25 Nov with a video link (cf. original blog entry of 13 Nov), television programmes have been made in at least four other countries where a sighted person leads their life blind. The period of blindsimming varied from five days to THREE WEEKS. (Is it really safe to wear eye patches all day and all night without a risk of infection?)

The German eye patches look very efficient; presumably with the type in the Spanish series the subject could open her eyelids and see a little light, albeit very opaque?
