New skills and toothache

One of the few things to go right this last week has been my foray into concreting:

Apologies, I couldn’t quite manage to keep my feet out of the photo. The reason for the concrete is this metal arch/trellis:

Once the trellis is solidly in place, I’ll be planting out a male kiwi fruit to keep my female kiwi fruit happy. In the meantime, I’m trying not to feel too unhappy myself as I face the prospect of a root canal treatment [amongst other necessary horrors].

I wish I could say that this was all a surprise, but it’s not. I’m terrified of going to the dentist so always leave things until I’m in pain. I’m now in pain and the treatment will be worse than any ordinary filling would have been.

Look after your teeth and do as I say, not as I do.
