Dentist wasn’t exactly cheering, but is at least over with now 😅 I never used to mind going, but after a particularly brutal dentist a decade or so ago I get quite anxious about it now. Current dentist is lovely and very gentle (and also liberal with the anaesthetic which helps), but I still need to do a lot of box breathing to get through it all. On the plus side it’s an NHS dentist, which is a bit of a miracle in my area.
A day after deciding to leave the kitchen till I found a colour I was happy with, I think I’ve found a colour that matches what I’m looking for. Paint testers seem to have rocketed in price since the last time I did this stuff. Probably for the best to make me narrow it down!
