Ouchie that sounds painful I hope he's alright squiggle

Hi skylark how are you?

Squiggle suffering from the noise the workmen are making:

And as I posted that, the sound of someone with a sandblaster or something like that started nearby at a neighbour's house.

 

Well that was a waste of time!  We drove all the way there, about an hour and a half round trip only for them to take an X-ray, he had already had one, and make an appointment for June.  Oh and they charged him £65 for the privilege.  Grandson not pleased.

Squiggle, you and your grandson should be charging them £65 for wasting your time and mileage.

^ really?! that's disgraceful!

I agree with you both, it is disgraceful.  They reckon he's probably had this since he was 10 as a result of a trauma.  Once you get into root canal work it's all a problem as it's all referral, not many dentists will tackle it.  It didn't help that our dentist has been forced to relocate to another practice.  All of us who were due for a check-up have been re-scheduled until September - 6 months after we should be seen as they are bringing in the daughter of the dentist who owns the practice, she is just doing her probationary year, so we don't know what she will be like.  Our dentist was originally from Hungary and he is a doctor as well as a dentist as he says that in Hungary you have to qualify as a doctor before you are able to qualify as a dentist.  Not surprisingly I am following him to his new practice.

Afternoon everyone  

Dry, cold and was sunny but cloudy now 

 

Squiggle, that's daylight robbery 

 

Sweet, do I infer from your daytime appearance that you have your mobile internet back?

 

El, love that piccie 

 

Skylark, nice to see you around again. Hope all is well with you and your family 

 

Have a great day everyone 

Squiggle, I've never needed root canal work (yet) but it's known to be complex work. My dentists do that work should it ever be needed.

One of my left upper molars is dead and has been for a long time. The dentist thinks that it could be the result of a trauma when I was around 8 or 9. Playing cricket in junior school. I was not much good at cricket, was batting when the coach driver was given the chance to bowl and bowled a full toss (one which does not bounce on the way to the batsman) which came straight into my face just below my left eye.

Evening Buddies  

Sweet, hope you had a good day 

Yogi, I hope you are having a good time. Will catch you tomorrow 

night moons and  summer if she pops in and everybody

Thanks Ros sweet dreams x

Yes Moonie I do have my phone service restored I hope you've had a good day

Good morning all it's partially sunny so far, and looks nice out.
Here's hoping because SIL is hosting a big party today and I'm in charge of decorating it!

I may not be back today, so have a lovely day and I'll definitely be back tomorrow leaving a hug for yogi

Good morning everyone

 

Similar weather here as yesterday. Sunny and not warm, may cloud over with showers later.

 

Summer, the event manager - I hope the party goes well

I can see it now - pancake garlands

I started on that M&S blackcurrant fool cake yesterday. If you like blackcuurants and cake you'll love it

Good morning everyone, a really cold wind but quite a bit of blue in the sky.

 

Sounds like you are having a lovely tasting session with the cakes you bought EL.  I hope Yogi is having a great time.  Pancake garlands I love it, I hope the party goes really well and everyone enjoys themselves - see you tomorrow Summer.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Morning everyone  

Sweet, glad you have your phone internet back 

With you doing the decorations for the party, it will look splendid, of that I have no doubt 

 

*sniggers* @ El's comment about pancake garlands 

 

Squiggle, I have just come back from looking at new beds and I have to say it's freezing here. I would venture to say, colder now than in December 

 

Yogi, hope you get back safely and look forward to catching up with you later 

 

Have a good day everyone  

Squiggle, has peace and quiet returned to your house or are your workmen still causing mayhem?

 

Moonie, I hope it warms up for you, It;s the bitter wind making it feel so cold.

 

If Heston Blumenthal was doing the decorating for Summer's SIl's party, I wouldn't be surprised if the decorations were edible

 

Me too El. Not a cold weather person tbh 

 

Not a huge Heston Blumenthal fan but yep 

 

Not it's still ongoing EL and likely to be for a couple of weeks yet.  It's looking good and will give me peace of mind about being watertight etc but of course you get fed up with workmen and all the paraphernalia and mess.

 

Moonie I hope it warms up soon, it is disappointing to be back with the cold after last week but it's nearly May so hopefully the sun will be back to shine on us soon.

Squiggle, as you say the work will give you peace of mind, and you've got good workmen.

 

Talking about noise and work being done. Two years ago, Christmas Eve afternoon, our next door neighbours decided to demolish their dinning room chimney breast which adjoins ours. Bliddy good job it was done in an afternoon, though I was still 

 

Next door but one and two's back garden blooming trees 

Lovely blossom, moonie

Off to one of those accountancy courses. It's a half-afternoon one so I'll be back.

 

El, you have my sympathy  

And mine

Hi all, apologies again for not reading back too much. Family fine thanks. 
Will keep up with you all soon . 
Lovely pic, moonie, nice to see the blossoms on the trees. Although its lashing rain here and very cold wind! 
Love to all x
Have a happy day Summer x

Hopefully tomorrow, will have a good catch up and a right gid blether 

I'm back from that course, not much to say about it other than it was shortish.

 

Skylark, I'm glad your family is fine

Hi velvet and Skylark I am glad the course was shortish EL - got any cake left for tonight?

My poor grandson just got ripped off unfortunately velvet, an unnecessary X-ray, a bill for £65 and an appointment in June, he is not a happy bunny.  The house is looking good but I am looking forward to getting my garden and my peace and quiet back again.

Hi Velvet I inherited a genuine gold nugget from the Alaskan gold rush. It's very small and probably worth £20 ish.

 

Squiggle, I only started the cake yesterday and it will last another 5 days. So plenty left

 

Evening all.

 

Haven't got time to read back atm but I hope you have all been behaving yourselves?!

 We'll do a sit in until he comes back!

My break was crap, I was getting a horrible scan done in hospital.

 

 I hope the sun was shining and it didnae snow!

I don't think I mentioned it, Velvet.

I'm glad to be home though!

 I know.

Will be back for 24 hours in the past, maybe see you in Baz's thread?

Awwww, I hope it went okay and you get a good result Yogi 

It wasn't pleasant but it's over and done with now.
