I had a late afternoon dental appointment with the practice gum specialist. I had blotted out of my memory that this was for a deep clean, not just a check-up. The last one of these was extremely painful. However, the treatment seems to be working, staving off the prospect of actual tooth loss...
On the way back to the car, I passed this knitted patchwork blanket (or banner?) on the railings of the local library. I've put the inscription about it in the extra. It was a lovely splash of brightness in the twilight.
