    Back from the dentist, he says there is no sign of infection where my teeth and gums hurt so there must be some other explanation, probably sinuses. Oh yes and the Dentist is in the Rue l'abbatoir  :open_mouth:
    That street name must put a few patients in the wrong frame of mind before they even get there!
    Sinuses can be right b.....s, did he make you touch your toes or stamp your feet to see if the pain gets worse?

    If you want inappropriate street names, I think it is in Budleigh Salterton where there is an old people’s home on St Peter’s Close.

    @Ergates, it was really a process of elimination, I had my nose Cauterized three weeks ago and this has affected my sinuses worse than usual with resulting pain in gums and teeth with old fillings and a crown, so it was good to know there was no infection attributed to them.

    @floralies Sinuses can be a right royal pain in the proverbial.  I always had bad sinuses the minute the colds season started and they always put pressure on my upper teeth and it was painful.  By my 20s one bit had perforated and infected my first molar root and nerves.  Ended up with a crown.  Almost 20 years later I needed a bit of jaw reconstruction and then a second crown.   That lasted about 15 years but the failed so I have a gap which my new dentist here says can be fixed but best to wait till after Xmas.  Fine by me.

    Our guests were supposed to leave straight after breakfast but they didn't get downstairs till 11:30 and finally left at 1:30, heading for Caen.   They are very slow and deliberate at everything (I am not) but were lovely - 2nd cousin whom I've not seen for over 50 years and her husband.  They are fanatical skiers, even now, and have an apartment in Les Arcs so are taking a very scenic way home to Keighley.

    We've had a mix of sunny and cloudy here with downpours and rainbows on the wat home from the SM run.  More wet bits on the way but sunny for the weekend and the next lot of guests arriving tomorrow pm - our neighbours in Belgium.

    I've had to take the boat onto the lake as a raft of oxygenating weed had blocked the downpipe overflow and the water level was about 12" too high. 
    Quite a force coming out the other end now as the level drops

    Good heavens @Dovefromabove, I hope our favourite Southwold fish restaurant/shop is OK.

    The house is much cleaner than it was this morning.
