If I understood the updates this morning it seems that you can take a friend ...

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm not sure how helpful the grandchildren would be!

But seriously when I went on Tuesday it was well organised. Questioned on health before I went. Wait nearby in the car till they phoned me. Then stand outside the door without touching anything until they opened it and let me in. Sanitise hands on entry. Take own pen to sign the paperwork. Seats in the waiting room reduced to two well spaced and replaced with hard plastic washable chairs. After treatment leave by the back door passing no one entering. Dentist and nurse in full PPE looking like they were en route the ISS.

Another call from the dentist. It's coming out next Wednesday. Hopefully he'll have mastered his 2m handle pliers by then.

I heard due to Covid there's a shortage of anaesthetic

Personally I can't see why they don't do home visits

Having an extraction nowadays is so pain free even down to the injection. I had a molar out last January, the worst part was waiting for the pain afterwards the never happened, it goes back to the days of the school dentist, bloody Butchers.

I had a wisdom tooth in March. I had more discomfort long after having it out than them taking it out which as you say was painless.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Not saying there's going to be any pain but I've been advised to take paracetamol before the visit!

My experience of the last one, pretty much the mirror image on the other side of my jaw, was of little pain either in the extraction or the subsequent installation of the implant. Other than to the wallet. Fingers crossed. And I hope you'll all be thinking of me being a brave boy on Wednesday at 8.30.

I admit I wanted some rain after May's drought, and it has been beneficial for the garden, but now enough is enough.

I don't know why you complain about Auntie's forecast. You should use my technique. Check three different forecasts and choose the one I like best.

.......or just look out the window

[towny44]

It is raining cats & dogs here, and maybe Keefie's chickens as well, and it has been like this now for days, but the lawn is beginning to green up nicely now.

[Stephen]

Nice here. Just about to go and sit down the garden with Mrs S and have a beer

That was Wednesday. And yesterday was the veg box from the milkman. And Tuesday was bin day and the dentist. Nothing much happened on Monday.
