Friday

 Good morning, everyone.  As hoped, yesterday's weather was beautiful.  That's two lovely winter sunshine days in a row.   Can't complain about that, can we?

Everything went pretty well.  Chris and I had a good old natter about this, that and the other.  I do appreciate these chats at a time when we can't be face to face.

I set off for the dentist p.m., checked in over my mobile when I got there and by the time I was out of the car and walking towards the entrance, the girl was waiting to check my temperature, make sure I sanitised my hands and to take me in.
I have to say, I have a real gem of a dentist.  Francesca, her name is, and she is so gentle and understanding.  She knows that I find the needle hard (just in my mouth, nowhere else) and although I know she's injecting of course, she sort of hides it with her other hand so I can't actually see it.  I know it sounds silly but it really helps.
Twenty minutes later I emerged with a new crown and a new filling and they feel great!  I can chew properly again.  I think the bill hurt more than the treatment.

The Zoom Slimming World meeting was great fun.  I wore my bauble earrings and had a mini Christmas tree on the desk.  We're going to have another meeting Christmas Eve but just the one for all the Thursday groups, with some games  Should be good.

Today I have plenty to do.  The cleaners are coming so I must clear up any clutter although it really isn't too bad this time.  I have a scheduled chat with Jackie and Victoria is delivering the Christmas wreath and two table decorations with candles.  Lovely!

Today's Advent calendar music is Peter Cornelius' wonderful 'The Three Kings' (Three Kings from Persian Lands Afar) with the underlying chorale, How Brightly Shines the Morning Star.  It's lovely.

    1. Well, apart from the four missing ones at the front. They will be finished (I do so hope) next Wednesday. Then I can bit properly again. It will be so nice to eat an apple without having to cut it up.

  2. Glad you had a reasonable trip to the dentist and are pleased with the results. James had his front teeth knocked out by a schoolgirl swinging her bag of books and knocked him off his bike. I rang the head mistress who told me they had been warned. However, that was not my complaint. They ran a way leaving him bleeding on the road where he was picked up by one of his teacher and brought home. The head kept the whole school behind on Friday afternoon until the culprits owned up. That it happened was an accident but you don't leave a child bleeding in the the road.

  4. Glad it all went so well at the dentist, I had three crowns last year on back teeth so I can image the cost ... it's a good job we had paid off our mortgage!!

    One more visit and you will have your Christmas smile :-)

    1. That's wise. I know they are doing all they can to make visits safe but the less one goes out, the safer it is all round.

  7. I'm glad to hear your visit to the dentist went well. It's often the way that the bill is the most painful part. X
