We went to Son and Fiancé for lunch on Sunday and it was still really cold, however their patio area has a clear(ish) perspex roof so each time the sun shone it warmed up the space nicely and windbreak sides and open front so we were outside, distanced and well ventilated but quite cosy. A lovely afternoon.
Monday coffee morning stayed dry but was still blanket, hat and gloves chilly. By the afternoon the wind and rain had picked up and over night the wind howled at about 60mph!
I doubt you'll remember but I lost my only filling at the beginning of the first lockdown, so just over a year ago, thankfully it didn't really hurt and there was covid so I ignored it, ate on the other side and tried to keep food out of the hole as best I could. It has hurt more recently, however it comes and goes and when I nearly phone the dentist it goes away so I don't, but I'm often feeling a little sick and that could be because I'm not chewing my food properly. Late on Tuesday I was explaining to a friend why I hadn't dealt with it and all the excuses sounded a bit pathetic, so finally Wednesday morning I phoned, telling them it wasn't urgent as I'd delayed it a year already, but they had a slot for today (Thursday) 😱🥺
I'm a very nervous dental patient anyway, mainly because I have such a sensitive gag reflex. She poked and prodded and could tell I wasn't happy so kept talking and reassuring, then the injections and they were so painful I had a full on panic attack and the dentist talked faster and louder and telling me to breath and constantly saying how brave I was doing! Then she yanked the tooth out and that was so painful too. I was still shaking when it was all finished so she escorted me down the stairs in case I fell.
Happier update as Thursday evening we had quiz night which took my mind off it and Friday it all felt fine, however I'll eat on the other side till it's totally healed.
Next Sunday Hubby is helping at the first SERV fundraising event since 2019 and getting everything ready he realised his caps both had horrid bleached areas which haven't washed out, so I've had a go at painting them. The one on theft is before and the one on the right is after the first coat. Let's see how it dries then might need a second go.
Hubby is very happily playing with two new phones, doing all the data/software/apps/pictures etc transfers and one will be mine when he's done.
All working fine and it's now a case of tweeking the various default sounds to ones I'll recognise and hear from within a pocket or handbag. Also all the relogging into things that have lost their cookies 🍪 so many passwords!
Today's weather is horrid so maybe I'll get some knitting done.
Enjoy your week and stay safe.

painting the hats! genius. We've got some that could use the same. Do you have special paint or would a permanent Sharpie pen work? I think the pen might fade quicker than a special fabric paint?
oh and belated huge hugs for the dentist. I need to ring and book mine. They cancelled and never rescheduled. Well Clo went for her checkup and was told they rang once and if we don't answer they don't ring again. And for data protection reasons they never leave messages which is hugely aggravating. Anyhoo. I really must ring.
Thank you for the hug xx
I tried the sharpie first in an inconspicuous place but it looked too black against the fabric. I have specialist fabric paints here too but they require smelly solvents and probably a lot of time and mess as they haven't been looked at for years, so I grabbed my black acrylic but watered it down well so it didn't dry shiny and plastic looking, expecting to need extra coats but it dried well if a little stiff which doesn't matter on his caps. I've no idea on durability though.
