I took Elizabeth to the dentist this morning and everything is fine which is a big relief after the shock we had last year. We've found a terrific dentist here. He told me that what Elizabeth had done, with the stainless steel crowns on her back molars, is the best treatment she could possibly have… Continue reading The dentist and playing dress-ups
I took this photo of a church on Union St this morning because I found the colours really striking. The blue-grey of the sky and the gentle sunlight shining on the church spire made me want to whip out my camera and capture it as I raced to a 9am appointment. I went to the… Continue reading A pic and should healthcare be free?

I really must learn… Continue reading Fluffy has escaped!

We went today and the dentist says she needs… Continue reading Flossing a four-year-old’s teeth
I went to the dentist this morning. All was fine as it pretty much always is. But that doesn't stop me from freaking out. What is it about the dentist that does this? I blame the school dental nurses of my childhood with their set of torture tools and creepy schadenfreude. The thing I hate the… Continue reading Dental anxiety
