The dental work is done (one filling less than I thought!) and so are some messages, thanks to the kindness of Rachel. I shall be making duck-based soup over the weekend, possibly with onions and garlic and lentils and quinoa. I shall be eating emu mettwurst. I shall be eating buffalo sausage. I shall also have a warm bedroom as I gave in and bought a larger heater. I have now mislaid my double adaptor, so until I find it again I can have heat or my bedroom light, but not both. Given the double adaptor is 30 years old, I may just put it on my shopping list and get a new one when I next do messages.

And that's my day. It's the end of a week that should make significant difference s to my health over the next while. Rachel and I celebrated with hot chocolate. I also gave Seung (my dentist) a hamper. The practice lost most of their staff to the backroom as they discovered how much nicer fresh macadamia nuts are than the we-shelled-this-for-you ones and the joys of shelling them. it was a very good kind of celebration, since everyone in the dental practice is a s foodie as I am and I included some of the things we've talked about over the three months this treatment has been going on.

And so that's it. All I need are checkups for the eye and the heart and the teeth. I'm am - as far as we know - entirely out of the danger zone. I'm on the way to good health again. It's a big moment.
