I managed to get an early appointment this morning with the dentist as my toothache (gum/jaw-ache?) had worsened since the tooth was removed. As I suspected I have an infection due to a 'dry socket' (no blood clot) which was probably prevented from forming by my other medication. She gave me a prescription for antibiotics and this time I got charged a small amount because I hadn't had to pay for the last 2 visits. I did a bit of shopping afterwards and sent off the last of my Christmas post. There are still 8 days to go but one parcel might not make it in time. Luckily it's not actually a Christmas present, just a few treats.
The day has been mainly dry. Sunny one moment and black clouds the next with a few showers. I spent the rest of my day shovelling gravel from the stream. I'm not surprised Patch has been catching trout. I saw several and heard more making their way upstream. As far as I can tell they are not spawning so I don't know why they are trying to get up the dangerous shallows. At least with all my digging the stream is a bit deeper.
I'm not sure if these sheep were making a bid for freedom or simply looking for tasty morsels.
