So far February has gone well. Tuesday I was back at the dentist who said normally the stitches would have dissolved but mine hadn’t so he took them out. It was painless and he reported everything looks healthy. Now we wait 6 weeks before impressions are taken for my implant, then another 3 weeks before it is fitted. What an age this has taken, my mouth still feels a little sore but I am grateful to be so well looked after and hopeful of a good outcome - eventually. Meantime I have not been very sociable because I really don’t like wearing my temporary tooth. MrFF would have liked us to take a break somewhere warm but it would have been pointless for me, I’d rather stay home with a gappy smile.
It’s lovely to have longer hours of daylight with quite a lot of sunshine. I am walking out regularly and climbing the 3 flights of stairs back to the penthouse. I often return through the town with a dash into one or two of our charity shops for a quick treasure hunt.
Lovely recent finds are
A Kosta Boda snowball t light holder for £4.50, it is chunky, heavy and twinkles beautifully. My lovely Danish friend in Italy has several these that are always lit when we dine outside on warm summer evenings. I have admired them for many years and now have one of my own that even in February brings to mind convivial summer nights.
200 grams of Trekking Hand Art hand dyed sock wool £4.99, just look at those gorgeous shades.
I'm spending my spare time reading, love a good book.
ReplyDeleteMay your good progress continue. I like your philosophical attitude.
ReplyDeleteFinding things that enable us to actually enjoy January and February is a challenge, especially as we've been down with nasty colds for more than two weeks. I've enjoyed my knitting but could only manage a scarf, anything else required too much concentration for my cold-fuddled brain.
ReplyDeleteI love that tealight holder. Charity shops are one of the few things I miss about living in the UK and I have found some lovely items over the years, including several more or less brand new cook books. We can of course pick up wonderful stuff at the brocantes and vide greniers but as outdoor events there are none in the winter.
Just catching up with lots of blogs and it was good to read your description of sunny weather, longer days and green shoots. That was so last week I’d actually forgotten, now that we’re once again shivering under dull, damp grey skies!
ReplyDeleteTrying to find some new blogs and found yours! Great charity shop finds, I love the tea light
ReplyDeletePretty find! And the thread is nice!
