Gnashing and rubbing of gums if this keeps up!!

My tooth has broken. I was eating a spearmint Lifesaver on my way to Karen’s and it was a bit crunchy. A bit too crunchy for a Lifesaver I thought. Indeed it was, and so part of one of my back teeth has a section missing. I rang the dentist this morning and I am on the emergency waiting list but it will be late April before I see anyone. This is terrible as my tooth hurts but no-one cares. I will spend a lot of time with my tongue on my tooth to keep the air out and I will be eating mushy food to avoid the chewing!!! Imagine people who can’t afford to go to the dentist at all. Dental costs are not covered by Medicare, and even with private health insurance, you get back less than half of the cost.
The stray cat has gone so there is great exultation and tail wagging, especially on Peri’s part. She has her job back : watching the house next door!!!
We watched 2 episodes of Blake’s 7, one was terrible and the other OK. We liked it anyway!!! Started a third, but I lost concentration and came home. I wanted a nap but I stayed awake till after Miss Marple and slept soundly all the way through till 8 am. A very good night’s sleep. The Labradors slept too as it is dark till 7 am now. Daylight Saving ends soon : this weekend I think so there will be an extra hour’s sleep but it will be dark so early in the evening. It will be dark by 7 pm. That means 11 weeks of shorter days , and then we are on our way to Spring!!! Not wishing my life away or anything. I have 4 more Easter things to make and II have a little shopping to do to buy the rest of the cooking ingredients and I have a card to make too. I must do that now as I think of it.
