Through the mill

I had a dental appointment early doors, which is luckily a two-minute walk from my block. I've heard of a few friends going to the hygienist recently and wondered about this new trend. It turns out hygienists basically perform the teeth deep cleaning service that dentists used to, at £51 quid for half an hour. The dentist said it was 'specialisation.' I think it's a ploy to make more money.

I braved my first wet food of the week with some soup, to change it up from the dry bread diet.

In the evening a lovely time down at the Millpond, which the Mill pub presides over. Gugs is visiting from Myanmar, and a few of us gathered. When it got cold we retreated to the Eagle, scene of the announcement of the discovery of DNA by Watson and Crick. There some pub grub (blandest I could find on the menu) and a catch-up about life, love, work and bowel movements.
