Have not written for a while as have been through some trauma. Popped along for what I thought was a routine dental check up and the next thing I am waking up with a mouth full of holes! I smelt a rat as soon as the nurse started shaving my arms.."bit odd I thought" but am always happy to please. Even when she said "this will be like a small scratch" I was quite relaxed and the next thing I know I am drifting off for a super sleep like I've been at the Chateau Neuf du Pap again. As I came to the gnawing ache in my mouth told me that not all was well and using my tongue I started to count the gaps....nearly fainted when I got past 4. They had stolen away 7 of my pearly whites...though in fairness they haven't been pearly whites for a long long time, more sort of muddy browns.
All in all I am OK but I have discovered that the little teeth between my fearsome canines serve another purpose other than putting the fear of God into Thanos and that is they keep my tongue in check. My tongue now seems to have a mind of its own and regularly pops out to say hello. My Dad reckons I will come in handy next Christmas when the family has a lot of stamps they need licking - bit of an unnecessary observation to be honest.
On a positive note my breath has improved no end and people no longer recoil in horror when I breathe on them.
So, its ever onward over here......have returned to do battle with Thanos and his floozy and have still not managed to eat the tortoise.
Number of times Thanos has taunted me- 7
Number of times I have chased Thanos out of the garden - 7
Number of things I have eaten that I shouldn't have - 2
Unsuccessful attempts to get into the tortoise table - 2.
