Sunday evening, 22-09-24

Hello, everyone.  Today has been so very different to yesterday, weather wise.  We didn't have rain all day but it started off wet, cleared up, sunshine for a few minutes and then it all started again.  Good for the garden and it doesn't feel cold so . . . could be loads worse.

I realised, after Janice's comment, that I didn't give you an update on Beth.  Sorry.
The big problem was an impacted wisdom tooth which was attempting to grow sideways, pressing on the jaw nerve and causing the lockjaw and the infection.  It is still looking rather nasty, said the dentist and the tooth in question will need to come out at some point soon - not something she is looking forward to with unalloyed delight but better than the alternative.
All the actual infections seem to have calmed down for now and she is feeling much better and also very glad to have some answers.  Back to work tomorrow.  

Today was gentle.  I did a bit of housey stuff, lots of crochet, watched rubbish TV, did some exercise stuff and thought about the week ahead.
I need to get up to date with finances at the end of the month and I need to sort out my clothes for Lindsey's next pop up shop as she's only accepting contributions until the end of the month.

Did you enjoy Strictly yesterday.  They were very careful about asking the celebrities whether they were enjoying the training, weren't they, and already you can see who is due for an early bath and who could last until after Blackpool.
And Craig was his usual truthful self - I do like that man.

Time to get this sent.  Did you have a good weekend.  I do hope so. Wishing you a good week to come and stay safe and well.  Night.  xx

    1. It really was very nasty, poor Beth. She has an ongoing series of dental treatments booked in so, yes, it will be sorted. THanks, SHaron. xx

  2. My daughter had to go to hospital to have her wisdom teeth extracted when she was in her teens. Perhaps they don't do that now. I hope Beth's appointments pass without problems.

    1. They weren't a problem then. I guess that's why really. xx

  3. Really enjoyed Strictly TQ and agree with your sum up. I'm thinking that maybe the recent issues will be a good thing for the show in the long run.

    1. Yes, I think so. Maybe those Italian stallions were just too macho for their own good??

  4. Hope Beth gets her wisdom tooth problem sorted. My daughter has had two removed under anaesthetic in the last couple of years as they were very troublesome and deep rooted. She had to go to a specialist clinic and fortunately had no problems afterwards. Tidied out lots of dead plants today and filled the garden bin. Catriona

    1. I hope so too. Our dental surgery (we go to the same one) is very good with an excellent reputation so fingers crossed.
      They're trouble when they come and trouble when they go, teeth are!!
      I keep putting off clearing the garden although, to be fair, everything pretty much is still producing. The time will come soon enough though. xx

  5. Ouch poor Beth, that sounds so painful. I don't watch Strictly, but I hope the season goes well for the show, it's become a bit of national treasure hasn't it, and lovely sparkly entertainment for a Saturday evening at this time of year.

    1. She was in a lot of pain, poor love.
      Yes, it is something of a treasure, I agree. It heralds the darker, cosy, colourful evenings to me. xx

  6. I'm glad that Beth is feeling a bit better. It certainly sounds like it would be very painful. Xx

  7. Thinking of Beth with her tooth issue. That sounds nasty. No wonder she was suffering so much. Hopefully it won't be too long before it can be removed and properly sorted.

    1. It really was very nasty indeed. I'm so relieved it is under control at least. xx
