Sep. 25th, 2007 11:45 pmNose itchy all day. Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze.
Dentist this morning. She said she was going to give the tooth I broke in Finland a permanent filling, but confirmed what her colleague told me last month - that that tooth is nearly all filling and no tooth - and added that sooner or later it's going to break. She said that when that finally happens I can have either a crown or an extraction. I immediately told her I'd rather have it out. There's no way I'm laying out two hundred quid on crowning a tooth I can live without, when I can have it whipped out for a fifth of that. Given that she is firmly convinced that tooth is going to break one day I'm surprised she's insisting on a filling and didn't offer me the option of having the bastard out now.
But no, in a fortnight I'll be returning to have the temporary filling drilled out and replaced by a permanent one. Still, it's only costing me £43.60 - thank goodness I'm back with the NHS.
Stood around for half an hour waiting for the bus. Popped to the Town Hall to check the poetry box (empty yet again), called at Asda for much-needed reinforcements to my supply of tissues, then home to crash out.
At 5.30 pm I was beginning to get my stuff together to haul my carcass to college when I realised I hadn't done a photocopy of my passport as requested by Pathenia. Onto a bus to the library to get the copy done, then bus to college - still made it in plenty of time.
More word processing tonight. Because to move on to the next exercise after the ones I finished last week I needed a Word document called 'Postal', I was sat around like a suet pudding for the first half-hour while Pathenia went round checking on everyone else - she came to me last of all. I felt a right lemon when she told me the document was on the CD-Rom that accompanies the textbook, so it had been sitting in front of me all the time. Still, got plenty of exercises done after that, and only sneezed a few times. And we were even allowed to go for a cup of coffee.
After class it was three quarters of an hour till the next bus, so I took refuge in the King's Head (sitting at a table well away from anyone else to avoid spreading my cold all round the town) with a Magners, watching Sky Sports News without sound on the big screen and putting a few tunes on the juke box. Home to veg out with a hot honey and lemon.
Time to head for bed with Radio 4. Book of the Week, Sailing By, the shipping forecast and closedown all with the light off - can't be beaten.
