morning all


merry christmas and all that good stuff.
Santa brought me an abscess in my jaw.
arrived Xmas morning, and is now like a golf ball.
I live (like most uk peeps) in a dental services desert, so i ordered some antibiotics from t'internet, but won't be here 'til Monday, cos the whole feckin country closes down for the religious holiday
111 offered me a dentist appointment 35 miles away on boxing day.
with buses every two hours, and taxis charging double bubble (£70 each way), i declined.
I DO hope it doesn't get much worse before Monday.

Gawd. Hope gets better soon skb. Fortunate here, there's an emergency dental thing about 15 miles away. Had to use them once.

Walk with youngest of my 3 loony ladies later, looks nice & sunny tho cold.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that SKB, not a fun situation to be in. Will taxis to the emergency dentist be a bit more reasonable next week, if you can hang on a bit?

Afternoon denizens

Back to grey here, and expected to continue so for most of the year. It’s 7°C (but “feels like” 0°) and that’s as good as it'll get today. The barometers are much the same as they were elsewhere yesterday: 1025/1033mB

The new bedding proved to be very comfy

local private dentist opens Monday. i'm hoping they can sort it (for ~£100 or so, i guess) and only £4 away from home
antibio's should be here Monday, too.
fingers crossed it doesn't get too bad, too fast.

Lunch: ham toasties

The ham ought to have been eaten by yesterday, but I daresay it’ll be fine. It still smelt and tasted like ham

Good luck! Dental abscesses are awful; hope they can sort it out quickly

For tea tonight, I tried a new-to-me Indian place. I’m not sure why I hadn’t tried them before as they’re quite close by, in what’s generally thought of as the poshest area of the city - estate agents try to claim that where I live is there, but it’s not

Turns out they do the deliveries themselves, so I was denied the pleasure of watching on a map as they got closer. I went down to wait at the front door as soon as I was notified that they’d set off, and only had to wait a minute or two before it arrived, as they were in a car. It turned out to be very nice indeed, and excellent portions

I’m glad I only went for the “a little spicier” option when the form asked how hot I wanted it, as it was pretty hot! This is one of the perils of living in a city where so many people are of Indian heritage. The next option up was “desi hot” and I know enough to realise that I surely wouldn’t be able to handle that
