Dentist gone to. Nothing drastic needed, though they pull the stunt of booking you in for a hygienist to do the old scale and polish rather than the dentist doing it, because that way they make more money. Oh well, can't blame them for it really; they must have spent a bomb on the refurb, and the place is looking better under the new regime
I had planned to pop round to Greggs for lunch on the way back, as it's just up the road, but it was closed
I didn't go there so often that they would have ceased to be profitable once I moved away, but it seems it's temporarily closed for refurbishment or something.
And I saw from the local rag's website that the road was closed by my old flat last night, and residents warned to keep their windows shut, because of a fire in a garage. I had my suspicions about where this might be so I nipped in the big back gate (I'd parked on the side road near the flat as it usually has more spaces free than the next road where the dentist is) and sure enough, it was the derelict old garage next to which the Super Monkey Car has parked for so many years until it finally got a garage of its own here. The door's been broken for yonks and one or more junkies have got into the habit of using it for whatever purpose over the last year or so, which was why I suspected that would be the place. Good job I moved before it went up - at least it gave the fire brigade more space to work, assuming nobody else was parked there
Anyway, now I need to decide what to have for lunch. I've got one chicken bake left in the freezer, I thinkComment
