Toothache

A beautiful day marred by toothache so I ventured no further than the garden today. I am lucky in that I do have a dentist but I will have to wait until Thursday and phone up for an emergency appointment. Apparently it's a matter of phoning up at 9am and hoping I get an early position in the queue. The receptionist tells me that all emergency appointments are booked by 9.10am. Still we're well stocked up with paracetamol and ibuprofen. You have to be at our age. I like to think of our various aches as growing pains.
