I can't believe I'm here already!
Something I loved VIVID has made it a great month, and I've had plenty of good times with friends. I have a friend who just stopped coming to things, and barely kept in touch (despite my efforts, but I knew it was her headspace, not personal). She came to two things this month. She lives up the coast so it's quite the effort too. It was lovely to see her, and lovely to see her back to her old self.


Something I learned That Napoleon banned the theatre production of Coriolanus in 1806 for being anti- authority and would reflect badly on him. Given the current production, I can see why.
Something that went well
I got my tooth fixed. I was hit by a bottle (I was sitting on the ground drinking out of a bottle - classy, and the person in front of me stepped backwards and banged it against my mouth, damaging my front tooth). 20 years later it needed root canal therapy as it started to die, and it was whitened inside. It started to go black again and the dentist told me I'd need it removed as it was too thin for a veneer. I put it off cos it sounded so terrible a procedure but his offsider decided on my next visit that we could whiten it from the inside again. That appears to have worked. Final procedure tomorrow. This is the only work I've ever had done, no fillings on any other teeth, no braces, so it's quite the drama and I'm a baby about it. But happy with the results none the less.
Something I let go of The idea of a last 'family' holiday with my youngest. She doesn't want to go anywhere so I think we may have had it. I'm still trying to come up with ideas but the costs are so high, even to Queensland in the school holidays. So I think we may have already had it in January this year. I've not quite given up yet but I'm working on letting go of it....
The photos are just things that made me happy. The broken dreams is the recycling of your lotto tickets at the newsagent. Alas, I use it too frequently. I've no idea what the left one is, it was just on my roll but I like it.
A stunning series of waterfront photos
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of photos! Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteEverything is getting way more expensive not just travel, a 1k block of cheese here is nearly $14. It's crazy.
ReplyDeleteGlad the whitening is working; I am fanatical about my teeth because I am terrified of having anything done to them (I did have my wisdom teeth removed but I was fully under and filed that more under surgery than dental work). We're getting to the end of our family vacations as well; my oldest has only been on 1 trip out of our last 3 and we only had 1 of the 3 boys that wanted to go to Maine with us. I figure I'll keep planning trips my husband and I want to go on and offer to bring whomever with us but I have zero expectations of them joining in. That way I'm pleasantly surprised instead of disappointed.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Love the shining water!
