End of week wrap.

Good morning from Sophie who has segued back into her early starts. 

Today we head along the ox track to the Holy Well which sits under the shade of the Holy Oak. Sophie has a lengthy drink from the Holy Well but there is no discernible sign of a diminution in her mischief making abilities.

At a gallery in London a drawing of an allium by Dali. Not a style you'd usually associate with the artist.

A coffee with one of the AI people to talk about robotic learning. My croissant looks the part but comes from the staid and stodgy British side of the viennoiserie family.

'The Font' heads back to London next week to see the dentist. Angus has to return a week after that. He has cracked a tooth while biting down hard on a cherry stone and the crack has run into the root. The best prognosis is that root canal treatment can save the tooth . The more likely result - it will need to be extracted. Having a tooth taken out was not something Angus imagined he would have to suffer at his age. The dentist , who seems to be remarkably relaxed about this prognostication, is wearing what appears to be a Star Trek style uniform .

At the time of finishing off this mornings blog it's clear that Sophie's Holy water experience has boosted her happiness quotient. The PON smile is quite something.

Dear lord I LOVE your dog!!! Do see if anything and everything can be done to save your tooth from extraction- said the woman married to the reconstructive dentist best in the universe. Teeth are much like dominos.

Sophie, that is a great smile, the smile of one who has never heard of root canal treatment...

What a lovely smile! And what a lovely dentist office - I've certainly never seen anything like that before!

Good to see a happy Sophie this morning - perhaps the thought of one of those delicious pastries or a curly croissant end or two?
The photo of your dentist's surgery reminds me that I have to make a long overdue appointment to see mine. The last one was cancelled due to a surge in virus cases....some time last year!

Sounds like a root canal and shiny new crown for that tooth may be in your future. It's something I went through last fall over which I had great anxiety but it turned out to be fairly straight forward and pain free. Just horrifically expensive to the tune of $3,000...for ONE tooth. Does the NHS cover such procedures? However, Miss Sophie's toothy smile is absolutely delightful this morning.

The pastries look wonderful

I think, perhaps, we all need a drink from the Holy Well.

I agree, Fay!

Add me to the list of those hoping that you get good news from the dentist. The operatory in the dental office, is one I wouldn't mind working in or being seen in - A fireplace -- WoW!

Sophie's Holy water experience may have boosted her happiness quotient, but I know your being home helped that too!

Tigger is of the view that humans of mature years should pit their cherries before consumption - the money spent in his household on repairing a tooth which fell victim to the same 'root cause' could have been much better invested in cat treats. Sophie looks pleased to have you back (and a regular supply of croissant ends restored no doubt).
