Hi pigale
I always thought French medicine superior to ours!

No, not done much today except spend a long time at the dentist. This was for a crown preparation. Lots of extra local anaesthetic needed, as usual. Not too bad but the poor woman before me needed a tooth extracted and the dentist couldn't do it! She had to hand over to her husband. People quite upset (understandably).
Did you get your patches?

Have to add my congratulations to elle's; very well done indeed.

I have only done about a third of the conservatory glass and less of the floor. I think it will be a while yet as I plan to go to the wood on Saturday and may spend time with the children on Sunday.

Hello Elle and Ros,

Hope you are both Okay today?

The North-Easterly wind is so strong and cold that it is not pleasant
to have a window opened - and yet the sun is shining. It went
down to 9C last night!

I admire you Ros for putting up with a four hours session at the
dentist! Did the anaesthetic wear out soon after your treatment or
were you left with a numb feeling for ages?
I am afraid I do not understand your phrase 'She had to hand over
to her husband' ? Obviously a meaning I don't know.

It will be good for you to have a break from cleaning, and see your
family on Sunday - precious time.

Yes, I have my patches, but negative answer to change to tablets
as the molecules are not identical and thus don't work in the
same way; We are also staying with the same dosage for a little
while longer yet (decided after discussing pain when I do any
kind of effort, or even walking for too long a distance - very depressing really, I feel so diminished!

Are you seeing any family this week-end Elle? Sport watching or
reading in the garden?
Nothing planned for me, but I am racking my brain at the moment trying to find a suitable word to be clued next Tuesday - not easy!

Hi pigale
I'm not that brave, the appointment was only one and a half hours! And her husband is also a dentist in the same practice and , I presume, a bit stronger when it comes to pulling out teeth. Yuk
I'm glad you got your patches and only sorry you need them so badly.

Sure you will choose an excellent word- I think the best ones have several definitions. When bullfrog was alive (he used to win as often as mattrom), he didn't enter if a word had only one, very specific, definition.

The conservatory is getting there. I went to the garden centre today and got a plant (a white bourgainvillea) for £4 which had been £18.99. I can't see anything wrong with it.

Hello, Pigale!
Sorry...I have been missing for much of the day!
Yes, I am fine, thank you!
I was just back in time this afternoon to watch Novak Djokovic playing Adrian Mannarino in a Quarter Final..
To my delight, Novak won in two straight sets.
That makes Novak , Kyrgios, Cilic and Chardy (a Frenchman!) the Semi -Finalists.
I am not sure yet what the weekend will bring.......we may see our younger daughter and family on Sunday...
But otherwise i have tennis to watch!
I hope you are having some success in choosing a word for next week's "Clueless"?
Oh the "penalty" - sorry! - of winning!

I've just looked in on the ospreys......
I wonder where Lassie is?
The chicks are alone in their nest......
I thought the Ranger said that Lassie wouldn't leave the babies until they were fledged?

Hi Elle,

I looked in about 30mns ago and she was there, feeding the (rather
big) chicks.

Just looked, she is back with yet another fish!

Hello Rusty, if you are around!

I noticed your answering a clue recently so I assume that you are
a bit less busy at present?
The PCT seems weird without your posts!
Hope you will come back soon and that all is okay!

Hello, Pigale!
Yes, I looked in to the forum and got a warm "welcome back" from Malone!
I am not fully "okay", but "coping"!
Very nice to hear from you, Pigale!

Good morning, Rusty!
May I echo Pigale's sentiments, Rusty, and say it is very good indeed to see you back on the forum...and on the PCT!
I am sorry to hear that things are still not all that good at your end....but hope they will continue to improve.
And I owe you an apology on here...because I had initially taken your word at face value that you were just "busy" - and replied somewhat light-heartedly and even facetiously.
I am sorry for that - I was not being insensitive .......just mistaken.
But it is really good that you are back......!

(Pigale and Malone were very eagle -eyed.....I had missed your very welcome reappearance!)
