Two Surprise Visits

"The man with a toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound. The poverty-stricken man makes the same mistake about the rich man."
George Bernard Shaw

My dentist in Aberdeen squeezed me in after school today as bridge had come loose. Took the opportunity to visit Ben and inspect progress on his flat. Then we went to local hotel for tea. He got a few strange looks as he was wearing shorts - and no, it wasn't warm here! However he does have good taste in fireplaces - and mums!
