Good morning all on another cold winters day. Only getting up into the mid to high 20s today but at least the wind has gone.
I am steeling myself for a visit to my dentist, the only certainty is that the visit will involve the dentist prodding about in my mouth then he will give me a clean and fluoride treatment and will charge me $150.
This morning was my seniors’ meeting so I have been writing up the minutes, one of my regular cake and coffee morning friends was missing from the meeting which was a bit of a worry, definitely can’t afford to lose any more friends
Anyway can’t stop I have to wander down to the dentist (fortunately in my street) where I will be in fear until I can escape. Hopefully no filling will be found to be needed.
Have a thoughtful Thursday, the weekend creeps ever closer.
Late addition - just back from the dentist, indeed a filling is required - piece had chipped off an old NHS mercury amalgam filing and decay set in in the gap. Not big filling though and only one.
As I said to the dentist they haven’t done badly, those fillings must 60 years old, I don’t think he is a fan though, he reckons because they expand and contract with temperature changes they can crack a tooth.
Overcast and windy here, a hopefully stress free day today, yesterday was spent hanging on the phone waiting ages for various Government Agencies to pick up.
Dentistry is not an issue for me, lost all my teeth in my early teens birthing a calf with ropes, got it out, cow kicked me, broke a lot of teeth, infection spread and they removed them all.
This last set of dentures have lasted me 20 years and will see me out.
Saved me a fortune in dental fees.
Your mouth changes shape over the years, your gums shrink, and I reline the dentures myself when needed.
Grey and cloudy today. Can’t really say a great deal. Last minute shopping for a few things, washing machine on the go. Everything all over the place. Worst of all - not had my coffee yet.
Today I’ll be visiting Amazon and ordering a battery for the new/vintage SLR film camera and a spare set of AA’s
for my real wax flickering LED bedside candles…
Morning all – wet and windy this morning (the weather not me!) but we are promised sunshine later.
Beast left a little gift again this morning – have to say I am beginning to find it a bit difficult having to get down on my knees to clean up, actually getting down isn’t too much of a problem, it is getting back up!
Usual Thursday coffee get together with the girls this morning, then grocery shopping
wife and I are off today to the local pub for a carvery. Cost expensive ?? not really at only £6 per head. it is one of their "special price "days so booked to make sure we get a table.
