Right now I'm struggling to not read the dentistry posts!! It's like a car crash, you know you don't want to look but can't help it!

I have to find a dentist here soon as I've got a very old temporary filling, but I'm terrified of going to a dentist here!! LOL Half tempted to wait till I can go to the UK and book an appointment with the dentist my SIL works with!! LOL Probably shouldn't wait that long tho! LOL

Just finished the antibiotics for my failing root canal though I’m not convinced the infections cleared fully and back to the Dentist on Tuesday for phase 1 of root canal repairs. Joy.

I'm on the 5th day since extraction and the discomfort is finally starting to ease.

I can't wait to eat proper food again. 8-)

Wished my Son a happy 27th birthday. Despite his two attempts to not make it thus far, he has, albeit through our intervention...

I had chocolate porridge. Not your shite packet stuff, but Mrs. G.'s concoction which includes oats (obs), good cocoa powder, dates, orange zest, nuts, oatbran and I think dried canberries, all blitzed up and in a bloody great Kilner jar. Made with coconut water, with a dollop of fat-free yogurt on top, it's bloody lovely.

That was before 7am, and since then I've been for a run and come into the office and I'm bloody starvin'. Reading about black pudding and sausages is NOT helping.....

Completed a four hour exam. Online, but observed via webcam by a team for Americans for an internationally accredited CIO thing. If I pass, more opportunities. I’ve also considered handing in my nursing card today too.

Woke up to a £7 Delivroo voucher which was burning a hole in my pocket so fast that I have spent it already.

Pancakes To The Limit. I am otherwise very healthy :think:

To ensure that this appeals to a wider audience (not just pancake lovers) I have just fixed a wibbly threshold and I will take the bike to pick up my Mum's meds later achieving the bike challenge at the same time 😛

That's one of the downsides of living the countryside village. We've not had take away of any description delivered for 10+ years now.

We do occasionally drive to get it, but i think that's been twice in the last year.

You need to move, somewhere like the Canary Islands? Yorick doesn't complain of such things :lol:
