Friday 22nd May 2020 to Thursday 28th May 2020
An overcast start to the week and windy too; an ideal day for a yomp or 5 up Box Hill. It wasn’t any easier than last week.

This spring has been beautiful…

Took part in a Zoom quiz with the beginnings of a tooth abscess which rapidly became worse. Just my luck all the dentists are shut because of the pandemic.
Some of the questions were ridiculous, I’ll stick to Pointless in future
A&E wouldn’t give me any antibiotics or lance the abscess. I could have as much codeine for the pain as I wanted but no penicillin to fight the infection; I’d have to ring 111 and see an emergency dentist…. on a bank holiday weekend. Fucking Great. I won’t be clapping for those twats this Thursday that’s for sure.
waiting for the 8am shift changeover 🙁
Eventually got my dentist to give me an NHS prescription for some penicillin but she wasn’t allowed to treat me so I lanced the abscess myself; the stuff that came out looked absolutely disgusting but the tooth instantly felt a whole lot better 😀
Sunday was Cfor’s 14th birthday
I did a few hours of weeding down the allotment so it’s looking a lot tidier…
and I feel I’m a little more in control now…
but it’s clear the slugs don’t respect my authority!
