When I was brushing my teeth this morning, something didn't feel quite right. A quick feel round with my tongue revealed that a filling had fallen out. Unfortunately, this filling is in the back/down the edge of a front tooth (upper left two, to be precise) so it has left a gap. Of course I immediately phoned the dentist ..... only to get a recorded message telling me that everyone was busy and to phone back later. When this happened twice more, I said to Malcolm that I would just head down to the dental centre, in the hope of getting an emergency appointment. When I got there, there was little sign of anyone being too busy to answer the phone! I explained what had happened and asked if there was an appointment available for today. The receptionist said no, and that I would have to phone tomorrow between 8am and 8.30, to ask for an emergency appointment. I found this just a little bit puzzling - why couldn't I just make the appointment there and then? Because you can only make an emergency appointment by phoning between etc. So I will just have to hope that when I phone tomorrow morning, they aren't to busy to answer the phone!!
When I got home, things didn't get much better - there on the doormat was a cardboard envelope containing photos, clearly marked 'please do not bend' .......
Never mind, things then got better when I went out to the studio to do some sewing. I finished the redwork block
Did some more work on the Baltimore block
Then I spent the afternoon watching an old film while I prepped more hexagons
When I transferred today's photos to the laptop before dinner, I realised that I had only taken the above four! So after dinner, I settled down to take some photos of the sparrows on the bird feeders ....... but they preferred for some time to sit in the hawthorn tree
But eventually, this male decided to tuck in to the seed in the feeder
While this one had a look on the ground for food - you can see from his ruffled feathers that it is quite windy here!
