Mornin'

I have a wet foot after standing on the wrong end of one of those joke paving slabs the council like to install - you know, the ones with a bloody great puddle hidden under them. Bastards.

Also, the lad opposite is leaving today so it looks like there will be a steady procession of visitors and joking throughout the day...

Is it that time of year already?

It's not is it? Brillo's bath? It seems to come round quicker each time

Cold and frosty one this morning. Had some flurries of snow yesterday afternoon / evening but nothing stayed.

Sun's put now though so should clear up.

Was planning on nipping into town at lunch time, but might give it a miss now.

Morning denizens

Chilly, rather frosty start out; but the sky is clear and the sun has finally rocked up, so the frosty bits should thaw soon

I appear be developing an abscess under the chipped tooth that the dentist forgot to fix last time I went, so now I'll have to waste a load of time trying to get an emergency appointment

<-- Manly sympathetic.

MrsB has just had a tooth out after 3 weeks of pain from an infection. I'm sure she will sympathize at the Xmas bash next week.

Appointment at noon, and it's sore rather than agonising at the moment so that's good enough

They'll just give me antibiotics anyway, but getting those started before it becomes huge and excruciating is the main thing.

for MrsB.

The main concern now is that they give me amoxicillin rather than metronidazole, as I don't want the latter still polluting my system in a week at the Xmas bash, given that it works like antabuse so you can't drink at all while taking it

I have a bath before visiting the divorce courts.

[WTFH]

I have a bath before visiting the divorce courts.

That often?

Or do you mean "I owned a bath before visiting the divorce courts"

I hope it goes well. I always think tooth pain is the worst. It seems to affect my entire body.

I recently had about £500 worth of dental work done.....

Also, when did dentists' receptionists start chuckling at one's lame attempts at humour in the face of adversity, rather than ignoring them and continuing to act like stony-faced curmudgeons? I've encountered this a couple of times over the last few years and it's a huge cultural shift of which I, for one, approve
