Tuned In

Dear O'H dear and Lovely Tea Jenny,

I went to the dentist today. English is not his first language so his questions are often like statements.

“Working today”

“No, I start a new job later this week”

“You look tired”

“I don’t actually start until Wednesday”

“You look tired.”

So it clearly wasn’t a question!

And I’m pretty sure (despite me assuring him that my alcohol intake is generally less than 14 units a week) that he thinks I drink way more.

“Alcohol?”

And then he gives a knowing look before adding “doesn’t have to be exact.”

“Still less than 14 units.”

Again with the knowing look, “I put ‘occasional’”

He gave me a clean dental bill of health. I needed a scale and polish but thankfully nothing to warrant the camera of shame!

This evening, The Mini Princesses and I went to see their piano teacher in concert (Chopin/Schubert: Sorrow and Hope). She was amazing and I couldn’t take my gaze away from her hands which were completely mesmerising as they moved across the keys.
