Soft items only as last night a filling and part of the adjacent tooth broke. No pain, but I don't want to put excessive pressure on it until I'm sure more of it isn't going to break off
I wonder if the dentist will be willing to see me? I was due for a checkup just after lockdown started, so of course that never happened.

Barometers are down rather again, at 1002/1010mBComment

Light rain overnight will help the manure to soak into the ground and release all its unctuous goodness.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
