Commentary

(Summary blog only.   Last full blog was Day 0368).

Val had another double-shift day, so I went to the gym this morning (for the first time in a couple of weeks actually, as I pulled a muscle some time ago, and have also been suffering from a bit of a cold [definitely NOT Covid!] for the last few days – but better now).

Then after a quick lunch it was back to the dentist yet again.   Today it was a scale and polish and a CT scan on a troublesome canine.   Turns out that there is a low-grade infection in there which means I need root canal work.   Fantastic news.  Still, I suppose I’m paying the price for not going to the dentist for the whole three years of the Covid pandemic.   There’s a lot of catching up to do, but it’s unpleasant and expensive – by the time I’ve finished, I will have paid close on €2000 for all these treatments.

Walked down to the shops via the coast in the evening while Val was working at Wonderlights
