Not much to report from here. A quiet half term holiday. Son 1 went to the dentist and has 2 more appointments over the next fortnight. At the end of those, he should have a bridge at the front rather than a large gap!0 -

New neighbours either side of me. (We’re in a row of tiny cottages with no other houses in front or behind so it’s quite important that we get on. The only other visible house is 5 miles away!)
Son2 is going to college a bit more...6 -

Neighbour’s house sale fell through. We’ve now one new neighbour and 2 houses for sale in our row of 6!
Son2 wouldn’t go to college today but was 100% attendance last week and is much more cheerful in himself.
Son1 is on holiday in Devon with his girlfriend, coming back tonight for the Gluing in of the Bridge ceremony tomorrow. I can’t remember what he looked like with all his teeth. The 2 main incisors (when there ARE 2, after tomorrow) haven’t been built quite as long as the originals, which were a bit “toothy”.
Busy week with driving to college twice for son2’s half days plus I’ve got some exam invigilation work and my birthday.4 -

Got to the dentist’s last week and the bridge hadn’t arrived from the lab. We were a bit peeved as that was a day off work for son1 and 100 miles of driving for me. We have a new appointment this morning...
I went to an exhibition opening at the museum where I help out and will also go to see the Titanic exhibition locally at some point.
Son2 has been enjoying the football.3 -
