Mal took Ellie out for a short walk as she stayed downstairs again last night.

I had my appointment at the dentist. I had to wait for 45 minutes even though I arrived on time, obviously she was seeing an emergency. BUT while I spent all that time in the waiting room there was another lady with her grown up daughter who insisted on taking her mask off every time she spoke. In the end I had to ask her to keep it on!! Other people were raising their eyebrows because of what she was doing but I was the only one who bothered to say it!!

I now have a very small plate with one tooth on it, as Yasmin said, really temporary until we all know what maxillofacial is going to do/say. Well, I have only been waiting 2 years. It was really strange having something in my mouth and I nearly choked on the way home. I had lunch and the tooth fell out!! I guess I have to get used to it and also the varifocals which I am struggling with at the moment. The distance bit is fine but close up takes some getting used to. They need tightening so another appointment for Friday! It’s not just ‘walk in’ any more.

In the evening we watched the Man U game. They slaughtered Southampton who had 2 red cards. Final score 9-0!!
