Toothache is still there but better than yesterday. Dentist son said it sounds more like a gum injury than an abcess. Either I flossed too hard or a bit of sharp, hard food got in and cut the gum. OH's hip painkillers have helped quite a bit but the first time I took them I felt a bit light headed.
It should be a lovely sunny day so I will do some gardening. I must finish the front garden, the ground elder is creeping back in from next door under the fence. I sprayed it next door in the spring when elderly neighbour was in hospital, but it's back.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Glorious blue skies here today - just picked a bowl of raspberries to have with my breakfast. Going fishing with Mr C this afternoon (keeping him company, not fishing myself. I’ll take a deck chair and some stitching). But got a couple of hours this morning to make a start on planting my bulb mountain (that’s a mountain of bulbs to plant, not bulbs planted on a mountain)
Great to hear you are enjoying Gran Canaria @Hostafan1 - sounds like perfect weather for you. And enjoy Crete @D0rdogne_Damsel - we went last year and were enchanted. I read The Island before we went to get me in the mood. I’ve started to do that a lot recently- read fiction set in a place before I visit. Currently got Memoirs of a Geisha on the go.
Blue skies here as well so gardening for me this morning. I want to plant some perennials and also dwarf irises in terracotta pots for my kitchen windowsill. I also need to sweep all the paths when they've dried out a bit, they're covered in bits from the tall birch trees just outside our boundary.
I gather we've got another storm blowing in on Wednesday so must tidy up the garden and batten down the hatches.
Glad the tooth/gums are better @Busy-Lizzie. Ground elder is such a nuisance, I've got some of it in the back garden.
Have a good day everyone, hope you also have sunshine wherever you are.
Poor @Busy-Lizzie, tooth does sound like possible food packing, or sharp stuff. I got a piece of the hard shell of porridge oat stuck down between tooth and gum, agony! Have you tried some Corsydyl mouthwash to speed the healing? If it gets worse, sounds like it would be cheaper to do a flying visit to your son! Sun is out this morning, might get out in the garden later. Rained last night, so the ground should be soft, will lend itself to some bramble removal.
Yesterday I went to my ex colleagues summer barbecue [ first I have been to since I left 10 years ago ] Some of you will know, I left under a cloud, I thought I was very badly treated by my colleagues, and it has bothered me since. Anyway, I turned up, said hello to everyone, then gave them both barrels, and left. I feel much better this morning.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Another 3am night out.
@chicky, enjoy "memoirs" but don't watch the film. It was awful.
Beautiful day here, the last for a while I think.
