Ouch!

Went back to the dentist on Wednesday and finally had some dental work done. Had to have three extractions - yikes! I knew it was coming so I was prepared for it but I was still very apprehensive about the needles. It wasn't too bad and I was feeling quite pleased with myself, but when I went to stand up I had a hard time getting my legs to support me! It's quite normal, apparently. The dentist accompanied me back to the waiting room and told me to sit there for as long as I needed - he offered to phone Nigel, who was waiting down the road in the car, but I didn't have my phone with me and I can't remember for the life of me what his mobile number is, lol! Eventually I stood up to go and a very nice lady who was waiting for her appointment offered to walk down the road to the car with me. I thanked her but said I'd be fine, but as I walked to the door I started to feel really shaky again and she jumped up from her chair and insisted on walking with me, and to be honest, I was really grateful for her company. I felt a bit better once I was out in the fresh air and it was only a five-minute walk to the car where Nigel was waiting. It was really nice of her to take the time to help me. I didn't get her name and chances are I'll never meet her again since the dentist is forty miles from where I live.

I was going to go into work the following day but by then my face had swollen up on one side and it was really painful so I called Dawn, the supervisor, and explained that I wouldn't be in. Friday came around and still my face was playing up so I had to stay home again. It's Monday now (bank holiday) and I'm still taking pain killers, but I'm getting back to normal so I'll be going to work tomorrow.

Well, it's been a beautiful day today, hottest day so far. I went up to where Nigel works this morning and checked on our chickens, which we keep there. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves out in the sun. Nigel gave my car a wash with the pressure washer while I was up there so it's looking all pristine again - that won't last long, lol!

Took a few pictures and then did little bit of shopping on the way home. I bought a jar of local honey and I have to say it's the best honey I've ever tasted - gorgeous!



I spent the rest of the day sunbathing in the garden - I'm getting a tan! Hooray!! :o) Here are a few pics I took today..



All of these were taken up at the hotel where Nigel works, except the last one which I took on the way home, looking towards Newport Beach.
