Hey folks!
Well ... it has gone. Or rather, they have gone - the tooth and the temporary thing that wasn't a temporary crown but looked like a deformed stump. Was quite calm about the whole thing and even managed a few witty comments. What a horrible job. Imagine the gobs that dentists have to deal with. No way! I like my dentist. She is young and pleasant and probably the best dentist I have had the pleasure of being numbed by. Boy, have I been treated (and I use the term loosely) by some butchers in my dental past. Er .. eg ... root treatment without anaesthetic? Not nice!
Anyway, I got the day off because there was no way I was going out of the house without my plate (had to leave it at the dentist yesterday to get the new tooth put on). So .. long lie. Grabbed joggies, t-shirt and fleece and wrapped my big Rowan Tuft scarf round my face to take TB to the shop. Remember, this is straight out of bed - unwashed, sleep in eyes and hair like straw hingin oot a midden (at least the make-up was off). Idea was drop him at corner and head straight home for breakfast. No contact with anyone. Ah ... no!
Got to shop and who was waiting? Tom, the Lanartus/Lang rep. Oh dear (or words to that effect). TB 'You do the till and speak to Tom and I'll go for milk' Me 'That'll be right' (Or words to that effect.) TB 'Well, you go to the shop and I'll speak to Tom and do the till' Me 'That'll be right' (Or words to that effect.) Guess who went to the shop. Big riddy.
Could hardly scarper and had to go back and see Tom. TB thought it was sooo funny to tell him why I looked like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards. (Which reminds me - I will get my own back, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but some day). Tom thinks I am mad anyway and I have a feeling today confirmed it.
However, nice new yarns but waiting until wall is down. It would get in the way and covered in stoor. I know what I am defo gonna get though. Lang have Addi needles in Lang packaging. They are Addis but I understand they are cheaper than Addis in Addi packaging. Have to check price lists to confirm. Yippee.
Had ordered 60cm 5mm Addi Turbo circular needles so I could use them for my 'need to know' project. Well, what's the point in having a wool shop ... you know ... They came when I was at the dentist so I grabbed one and as soon as I got home I put my knitting on them. You know, they are sooooo good. They don't stick and I didn't mind working with them. Usually I hate using a circular needle, or any needles shorter than 35cm for that matter, but these are heaven. Yep, defo for the shop.
Looks like I am getting absolutely no sympathy despite my petted lip and little whimpers, so I am going to do some ironing. Will give myself an hour and then do some knitting. Newcastle seem to be winning by the sound of it so TB will be in good humour.
Catch ya later.

I love Addis as well - and you completely deserve them to make up for the tooth. I lost a front crown a few years ago on the very day I was helping my Dad to move house. There was no way I could avoid the removal men or dropping off the keys at the estate agent so I just didn't smile. At all. Bet they thought I was a right grumpy sod !
That story is laugh out loud funny. Tho' probably not for you! Hope you have a sparkling smile again soon. x K
