Heading taken from a W B Yeats poem, a good description of the week so far.

Monday - Dentist. Threatened root canal work not needed but temporary filling taken out and replaced. I won't have injections as I genuinely can only feel a slight sensation from drilling. The injections however hurt a lot. Bill not too bad but told next time there is virtually no tooth left to fill. Electrician joiner and handyman coming round to give estimates to ensure house remains standing.

Tuesday - Car tyre blows out on way to work. Get car to tyre place (just) with a strong smell of burning rubber. On inspection one other tyre oddly swollen and one just legal, so 4 new Tyres. Expensive, particularly as bought 2 new tyres only last month

Wednesday - Phone call to say new glasses ready. Only went for test last week. Near vision worse but distance fine. Not as expensive as tyres but bad enough.

And there are still 4 days to go this week. I am getting worried about what else might drop off or fall to bits!

Oh and my oldest daughter tells me she is marrying a Dutchman in August so I am supposed to be saving up for that as well as the Birthday season - All the women in tne family are Pisces and my youngest is 21 next month!

At least the snow has finally gone (yesterday) The world looks bigger through my new glasses. I can eat on both sides of my mouth and my wallet is much lighter to carry!
