WoW.
What does the lost tooth have to do with the swelling etc?
Hope all is well with you now
The lost tooth caused an infection. It didn't break cleanly, going on what still in the mouth.

Just sore now.

Get it when it comes out, for the tooth fairy.

I got back a little while ago with 54 miles, I've also passed 1000 miles for the year. Over sutton Cheney wharf by the short route, then home by the scenic route, a lovely spring morning, bright and sunny with a stiff cold breeze. Lots of daffodils in the verges, in the fields and gardens. I rode back through Earl Shilton and started thinking, "years ago, when I was still riding with the club they used to have a route thaT took us home past Stoney Cove and through Frolesworth, can I remember the route?" I got to the turn, rode through Sapcote, Stoney Stanton past the cove, found the turn for the main road, found the layby with the little lane off the back off it and found my way back through Frolesworth and picked up my usual route home. A lovely morning out pedalling in the spring sunshine.

Crappy day - got a bug yesterday (not CV!) just aches and pains and nausea. Ended up going to bed at 4pm in the afternoon. Feel completely drained today and can just about be bothered to move from lounge to kitchen. Could be worse I guess.

PS: I'm feeling very sorry for myself.

Car needed a new bonnet latch, the spring broke on it a few weeks ago, the local garage fixed it at the time using a spare spring they had in the workshop, but told me I needed a new latch, so I bought a new one last week. I dropped the car in first thing expecting to have to come back later to pick it up, the fella said sit down in the waiting room and we'll do it whilst you wait, so half an hour later I drove way job all done and only £25 lighter. I did ask about fitting cost at the Suzuki dealer when I brought the latch and they reckoned it would cost £165 to fit it. :eek: So I'm well chuffed, the latch was only £36. I did ask about buying the spring and was told they were unavailable, I couldn't find any on the internet when I looked either.

Did you keep the old one or did the garage(for the next time a spring is needed)?

Good day so far . Took my daughter for a job interview in leamington ( fingers crossed for her), as it took an hour a day half it gave me chance for coffee and cafe plus a brouse round John Atkins cycles.
Back in Coventry in time for a quick spin to draycote and another coffee at the Royal Oak in Brandon.😀
