I am surprised dentists haven't been classed as essential, at least for toothache. No pain worse. :sad:
I phoned just in the hope but there is just a recorded message with an email address for you to send in questions. Very helpful:sad:

Bonjour. Been up ages, at least about an hour :rolleyes: and Molly and Rusty fed ( Rusty is our cat ),had breakfast and now contemplating what to do next. Can't take Molly for her daily walk until this afternoon although I take her twice sometimes, hoping nobody will notice. :sun: again today and sent my daughter a virtual birthday card :smooch:. Wife still in bed, playing with her phone.
I might put my bikes on the stand and clean them up ........ again !
I bought two solar spotlight from Aldi yesterday at £4.99 each but I think I need at least another two.
It is good to chat isn't it? ^_^

Hello is the best I can do.
What time is it?
Bloody 'ell, what year is it?
We had a drink or two last night and both slept heavy......didn't wake till after 0800. No hangover or headache etc, just a very heavy sleep.
Beautiful sunny day though and quite warm.
Today is grass mowing day. Sooo looking forward to it, can hardly find my coffee mug.
Sadly I have a tooth problem (two actually).
I have a cap on one tooth. Yesterday while eating there was an ominous crack and now I cant bite on that area and its a constant ache.
The tooth next to it decided to lose a filling last week. No pain but a rather large cavity.
All dentists are closed. I will try to grin and bear it :wacko:
Our dentist is available for emergencies and they say you will be seen if in pain so it probably depends on the practice.

Just been phoning various people and contemplating the changes as you tend to do when retired. When I came here local numbers were not in common use.You just asked the local operator for the person you wished to speak to and they would track them down if not at home or work. This meant that you could get a phone call " Hello operator here have you seen Willie Mann this morning" to which the answer could be "yes he was heading along towards the pier a wee while ago". "ok thanks I'll try there".
The downside was that nothing could be regarded as private so there were no secrets over the phone.

Oh dear! I think dementia is settling in. I called my daughter and sent her a virtual birthday card too, only to be told that her birthday is actually next Monday !! :laugh:
This lockdown is beginning to affect my brain.

Ride done. I'm normally and afternoon rider but went early today. It was cooler than I'd thought, but quickly warmed up when some chump on an MTB tried to T bone me. Luckily I was wide away and keep practicing my drills, so seeing him at the junction as I approached I'd already subconsciously moved towards the crown of the road and allowed my speed to bleed off a little, so the only injury was to my Y fronts and his eardrums when I rebuked him for his stupidity.

What damage did the Y-fronts sustain when you rebuked him?
