A long and dusty road: Dentist, Doctors and Down in the garden.

I have had an interesting few days!
On Monday evening I lost a filling, so on Tuesday morning I rang the dentist. I was given an appointment for Wednesday lunchtime. I was happy and surprised to manage to get one that quickly.
Wednesday morning I got up and discovered I had overnight developed a surprisingly large lump on the right side of my face. I also realised that it hurt quite badly. This was just what I needed, an abscess under the tooth that had lost the filling. I knew the dentist would not work on the tooth while that was there.
I arrived at the dentist in time for my appointment, the lump had grown a bit bigger during the morning and the pain had grown along with it. The young girl on the reception desk looked at me and just said "ouch!".
The dentist I usually see was on holiday which was not a good start, however the stand in was very good he had been told that I was anxious about visits to the dentist and did his best to put me at ease.
I told him what the problem was, he had a quick look, straight away he said "it needs to come out". The magic words, no messing about with fillings or caps just take it out. "But, I cannot do it today" he said. He told me the abscess had to go first. So home I went with a prescription for antibiotics and an appointment to return the following week when the offending tooth will be removed.

I had some blood tests done at the doctors at the end of June, on 11th July (last Saturday) I received a letter asking me to make an appointment to discuss the results. I looked on line for the first appointment with the doctor I like Tuesday 21st July.
This coming week is looking pretty full up already,
I am meeting Emma on Monday for a late birthday gift, (her birthday was on the 12th)
Tuesday it's the doctors
Wednesday is the dentist.
Elvira mentioned a day out, you had best pick a day quick Elvira we are down to Thursday or Friday this week!

Coming home from the dentist we crossed Heath Common. There is a resident Gypsy camp there, the Gypsies keep there horses on the common. The adult horses are tethered but the young horses are not.

As we drove along Tony had to brake quite hard because two of the young horses were playing chase and one of them ran out into the road.

They were only on the road for a matter of minutes before running back into the grass to carry on playing.

Running back to safety.

I was glad to get home.

Now what has been happening elsewhere?

The new squirrels are getting cheeky, they even pose for their pictures taking now.

Who me, pose, never.

They come up very close for a look when I am in the green house.

If the foods not there they come to look through the shed window to see if I am in there.

I have had a walk round the garden to see if there is any flowers or plants because Tony will be getting the lawn mower out again soon and they will all disappear when he does. However there are not many any way. Just a few buttercups, a couple of asters and of course my lavender bush (thats safe though ).

I got a little bored the other day there was no birds or squirrels in the garden so I decided to photograph whatever I could find, nothing much was kept apart from these.
