Thursday

Good morning, everyone.  I'm awake very early, before the street lights, so I can't tell what the weather is like.  Fingers crossed for a bit of brightness.

Well, yesterday happened.  Actually, most of it was good.  A lovely chat with Val followed by a good personal training session with Lindsey.

The dentist wasn't as much fun though.  The treatment isn't finished yet.  I now have metal bits sticking down from the implants but you can't see them as my dental plate fits over them.  I have another appointment for Monday morning so maybe it will be finished then.  Two appointments next week, one with Mr Clough the Implant Man and one with my 'normal' dentist, Francesca.  They are both lovely but yuck!

Today is going to be much easier.  A chat with my friend Chris in he morning and Slimming World late afternoon/early evening.  I think I might take a trip to a local garden centre that has a name for lovely Christmas things at some point.  If it is too crowded, I will just come home again, no point being silly.

That's about it really.  A shorter one today to make up for the long winded ramble yesterday.  Have a great day and be safe.  xx

Today's  Christmas music is very well known and, in this clip, rather beautifully arranged and conducted by the great John Rutter.  You'll be hearing more of his music in the coming days - I have several favourites.

  1. Sorry you've had such a rotten time at the dentist, Joy - you'll be so glad when it's over, and just think of the lovely smile you'll have. I don't envy you though, but I do admire you for your bravery. Xx

  3. The dentistry work will be good when it's completed, but the process is awful isn't it :-(

    The mornings and afternoons have been very dark recently haven't they, but we are hurtling towards the shortest day so soon things will start to gradually improve. I woke up at 7.15am the other day and it was still pitch black, I thought it was the middle of the night so I was quite disappointed to find out it was time to get up and feed a certain little Pug.

    1. Very gloomy - after one o'clock it feels that night is drawing in as well, doesn't it?
      And yes, it's not fun at the moment and I know on Monday it will be more needles but my fingers are crossed. I ought to ask him, if Monday isn't the end.

  4. That dental work doesn't sound much fun. Is it painful? I think the worst part of a UK winter is the grey, damp, cold weather. I don't mind it bring bitterly cold as long as the sky is blue and the sun is shining. Roll on Spring

    1. No, not really, although I don't like the injections. I've just never liked dental treatment.
      Sadly, we have a way to go before Spring.

  6. I bet you'll be happy when those implants are done. It's so hard to endure dental work. I feel for you.

    1. It's certainly not been my favourite moment of the year but it had to be done so I just had to grow up a bit! :-)

  7. Hopefully it won't be much longer until your dental work is finished. You must be getting impatient now. X

    1. I'm really hoping that the end of next week will see the current 'works in progress' completed. That is the crown, the filling and the implants. There's a new project in the new year but that's another story!
