We took the Van back this morning, and boy did we have a list of things they needed to address. They took everything really well and gave us our full deposit back. I have to say it was nice to see the last of the van. We enjoyed it while we had it but it is great to be getting back to a real bed again.
Mark, from AllSeasons drove us to the airport with all our luggage, we weren't looking forward to checking in, it cost us $300.00 for overweight luggage when we flew to Melbourne by Jet Star so we decided to fly Virgin Air. On Virgin Air all sports equipment travels free. That is a big bonus. We loaded the golf bag as much as we could and they didn't charge us anything for overage. The flight was very good, it seems there was slightly more room than usual, it could have been my imagination, but I felt more comfortable than before.
Stuart picked us up at the airport. We both really enjoyed being back in a house with a shower and bed.
Tuesday was very uneventful. We took Guinness for a walk into Town. It is a very small town and they live about 2km away. The weather was bright and sunny. Going into town was nice, coming back was harder for me, lots of hills and fairly steep ones at that. However, we made it and I felt much better for it. I did spend the rest of the day laying on the couch reading my book.
Wednesday, however, a very different story...Jenny made me a dentist appointment at 8:10. I was there at 8:00 and he started right away. I had a root canal, a very long root canal. He couldn't seem to drill through my crown. First of all, he didn't want to as he really liked my dental work. But when he started to drill and kept asking for Tungsten-carbide bits, I knew I was in trouble. He was finally finished with me at 9:50. I couldn't hold my mouth open any more and my face was only slightly swollen. I felt pretty good, no more pain (so I thought). The freezing came out about noon, I had a cup of tea, and guess what....he had fixed the wrong tooth.
Thursday I was in again at 8:00 - he gave me a needle, and hit a nerve, I got a shock and the freezing started immediately. This time he had all the correct bits, it was still hard to drill, apparently I have 8 times the amount of metal required for a crown. I was finished by 9:00 and he didn't charge me. Both Dalton and I were happy about that aspect and when the freezing came out this time. I was in great shape. The downside...I have to go see a Specialist for the finishing up. I do have a supply of antibiotics for our trip to New Zealand in case anything happens before our flight home.
Saturday morning Jenny and I went to Salamanca Market, had a great time. We had to get home to do some more cooking, we started last night. We are having an Irish theme dinner party tonight. Jenny's birthday is Sunday. They just came back from Ireland and thought it would be a fun thing to do. There were 12 of us for dinner and it went off without a hitch. Everyone had a great time.
This is Guinness, she is reclining on the bench outside our bedroom window, she follows the sun around the house. Clever dog!
Her name was Emma when they rescued her from the Pound, however, after she had been spayed, she was very much a tomboy, hence the name change...most of the time she gets called he...She doesn't seem to care what gender she gets called, as long as she is loved...
This is the view from our window
The other direction, isn't it lovely!
Stuart and Jenny's home...we just love it!

I had to have a root canal this year on holidays too. They took my crown off, did the root canal and put on a new crown. They said it would be easier and after reading your post I guess they were right.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're going on lots more trips because I like the way you write.
