I know you're all as interested as I am about the state of my wisdom tooth, but, well, I don't have anything else to blog about. Well, I do, but that all requires thought and it's Friday.
So, the tooth is still sore. And what's worse, now I can taste the infection. Yuch. I have a […]

Just got back from the dentist - it was exactly what I thought it was. Wisdom tooth shifting, then the gum got infected. So now I have some antibiotics to clear up the infection, and shouldn't need to go back for nine months, when he wants to check up on it. Apparently the tooth will […]

Words I want to hear today: easy, antibiotics, painkillers, prescription, goodbye.
Words I don't want to hear today: oh dear, extract, surgery, hospital, general anaesthetic, see you next week.
Words currently running through my mind: ow, pain, it hurts, ouch, please make it stop.
Words Apple's spell checker can't spell: goodbye.
Words that look really weird when you look […]

I have an appointment on Thursday lunchtime… in Dorset. Bit of a way to go, but whilst this is not my usual dentist (he only works two days a week), Mum recommended him, so hopefully it'll be ok. The tooth was hot and inflamed all night, so it's definitely not going to get better on […]

OK… I think this is the most bizarre piece of spam I have ever received.
Dearest Internet Personality,
My name is Cabe Unger, and I have a passing interest in occult symbols.
I am trying to spatially define the mythic “Odegra”, but have been unable
to find matching illustrations from independant sources.
I have thus far seen a bas-relief […]

My last remaining wisdom tooth is still giving me gyp. I have a very nasty suspicion that it's infected. Tomorrow, will make appointment with dentist.
*sigh*
I don't have time for this right now.

So I went down to Kate's last weekend to play with glass and her kiln. it was nice to get out of London for a while, and even nicer to switch off and spend time making physical things.
My first attempt - a large bowl - failed horribly. Making it is a two step process. First […]

Gmail, for the last month or two, has started running like a one-legged dog. It no longer runs - it staggers. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, it crawls. There appears to be a permanently unresponsive script running which kills it, no matter which browser I use.
Anyone suffering this? A friend of mine suggested that the problem […]

I've only had to call an ambulance a few times, and for those events the ambulance was clearly needed. Tonight, though, it really wasn't.
Kevin and I got home from a nice evening stuffing our faces with sushi to find an unconscious man lying on the first floor landing in the converted terrace we live in. […]

There are many posts I could write. Many posts I want to write. However, you're just going to have to make do with me bemoaning the fact that my wisdom tooth - the only one I have left - is shifting again. It's sore, and I keep getting the urge to start chewing on, say, […]

So, after my rant the other day about how much I hate shopping for clothes, there came a straw which broke this particular camel's back. Before Christmas, I bought some new scaffolding from Selfridges. The day after I wrote my post about being a size 32doubleginormous, I was hanging out the washing and discovered that […]

If you've met me more than once, you've probably seen my entire wardrobe. I'm not good at shopping for clothes - usually I have to be frog-marched round at gunpoint by my friend Kate. But I think I've figured out why. Well, an additional why to the why I already knew about.
The fundamental issue is […]
