Nice to wake up in Willow this morning, despite not nearly enough sleep. Ady and I were disturbed (I will not detail what we were disturbed from) by Scarlett sleep talking, well sleep shouting, something about castles which had us in hysterics at about 2am. Very funny.
Up, dressed and breakfasted we walked across to where Caz and Bid were loading up their van for a days selling for emotional goodbyes and cuddles. We do love them 🙂
We waved them off and had a cup of tea, almost for old times sake. We’re going to miss Willow. Then we came back to Mum & Dad’s. I had a quick bath and Dad ran me along to the dentist. I had an hours appointment and it’s the most dentistry I’ve had done in years. I need a crown on a tooth which has been dodgey for some time (a piece of it fell out a few years ago and it was filled but has never been quite right). I had an xray, an injection (she said she was impressed as I didn’t even flinch), a removal of filling, impressions done before and after filling removed, a temporary filling created and installed. The gum bled quite a lot and I had impression rubber all over my chin and cleavage so I was not a pretty sight when she’d finished. She did warn it would be sore when it came round and indeed it is, not agony and a couple of painkillers have taken the edge off it but as I rarely take painkillers that was enough to have everyone tip toeing around me knowing it must be quite hurty.
Ady and the kids picked me up and we drove down to Brooklands to meet up with Tasha, Toby and Vinnie for a few hours. Tasha had brought some home made cheese straws which were delicious and much more suitable than the french bread we’d brought along for me to manage so I didn’t starve. Fab to catch up with them and exchange news / share our plans. The kids got on well and Davies, Scarlett and Toby went wandering off for quite a while leaving us in the playpark with Vinnie, who entertained Ady by telling him all about Spiderman while Tash and I mostly swore and gossiped about local people we know!
We all started to get numb of toes and it got dark so we said our goodbyes for now and went our seperate ways. I’d been planning to meet a work mate for a drink but was quite relieved when she sent me a text to cancel. We came home and I retired to the bedroom with my book while Ady cooked dinner for everyone. We watched Frozen Planet and everyone is now in bed.
There, will that do Joyce? 😉
Yes, that is sufficient for now ;-). Xx
