I’ve agreed a course of action with the dentist (who tried to avoid doing the work). I’ve had this before with dentists – I don’t think the National Health payment scheme encourages them to do too much.
I’m back in a few weeks to start the treatment and am hoping to keep the old crowns. It will be useful to have some gold when the western banking industry collapses.
It was a case of grabbing a quick breakfast after that (I don’t like eating before dental work as the job must be bad enough without seeing the remains of my breakfast stuck in the gaps.
We had a full, possibly over-full, day in the shop and I found my abandoned half cup of coffee still in the cupholder. The day was so warm that, if anything, the coffee was hotter at 4.30 this afternoon than it had been when I’d left it at just after 10.00 this morning. I may have discovered a new way of cooking.
We’re off to drop Number Two Son at Manchester airport tonight. He’s staying over overnight as he has to be at the airport for 6am tomorrow.
Number One Son is leaving tomorrow – he’s flying on Saturday. By Monday both kids will be thousands of miles away.
Julia is a bit subdued about the whole empty nest thing so I’m trying to be supportive,
I’m not sure it’s working as she just told me to stop smiling so much.
Give it awhile. You’ll miss not being able to see them. We Skype with our North Carolina daughter and son-in-law. it helps. Actually feels like we’re visiting. Fortunately, we see our New York daughter fairly often.
🙂 Number Two is now in Toronto. I am trying not to pine. I’m being quite successful so far…
You are very considerate towards the dentist
I am trying to make him like me so that he feels guilty about causing me pain.

There will be a certain element of freedom to compensate for the loss in my experience. Quite adequate compensation too.
I’m hoping this will be the case. 🙂
The smiles get you every time
