I was in pain all weekend and finally called the emergency number. He said the pain was unusual and it turns out that I had what's called a dry socket
where the clot doesn't form properly. I was getting sick of taking strong pain killers. He put a special dressing in it yesterday morning and the pain
subsided soon after. It seems to be healing okay now. I don't seem to be able do anything without there being complications.
Anyway, I'm feeling much better today. Got some new plants for the fish pond yesterday after visiting the dentist and they seem to be doing well
also.
My first university major in 1988 was pure maths, but I've gone over to the dark side now and I'm studying physics.

Sorry to hear about that Poly... (googles the problem) Ew! That sounds horrible!
Careful with rinsing... Do you need to get the dressing changed?

The pain came back by the following night and the next day after that the dentist had to put an other dressing in. I think it's finally settling down
now. I'm normally a really good healer so there must have been something really wrong going on under that tooth. It obviously really did need to come
out.
How are you going now, Bonny?

Sorry about your tooth troubles, Poly...
After sleeping on it I'm primarily sore from keeping my mouth open. Bleeding has largely ceased. I'm now on two broad-spectrum antibiotics. And I have
special mouthwash.
The upside is I'm free for next week - hopefully I can visit bf again.

Good for you, Bonny.
I felt almost normal again today. The gum is finally healing the way it should.
Did either of you two do anything with Alex Winter's Kickstarter? I ordered two song books and they're now trying to tell me that the postage is $40.
Ridiculous.

Shipping from the USA became ridiculously high a few years ago, I no longer buy records there cause simost of the times the shipping costs more the
items I'm interested in.

Now it says the price of the books was $20 each but I was originally charged $40 each. They need to get their act together.

I noticed online that they had reduced the book shipping charge from $40 to $10, which is good, but they've just replied about the book prices, saying
they were $20 each, without noticing in my message that I'd said I'd already paid $40 per book. So I've sent another message to point that out. We'll
see what they have to say next.

My latest drama involves the loss of fish from our pond. Seven altogether during the last week. I've been really stressed about it since discovering
that four were missing last Friday. Another two went on the weekend and then another one on Monday morning. I got up early yesterday morning and spied
on the pond from inside the front room. I caught a snap of a large bird on the fence about two hours after dawn:
It's a little pied cormorant. Little is part of the name of the bird. It's beak is not as long and the bird is smaller overall than the regular pied
cormorant. The rings of wire along the top edge of that fence are 24 cm apart so that bird is about 70cm long at full stretch. I had also noticed that
the pond was losing a lot of water and thought it might need repair, but it turns out that that was the other clue that it was a cormorant taking the
fish. It would have just leapt in to the pond, displacing water and soaking it up and chased the fish around splashing water everywhere.
It didn't stay for long as either it realised I was watching or possibly because it found the mesh I'd put in place by that stage enough to put it
off.
I've been putting that together in stages and there was still a large gap Monday morning when it managed to catch another one. There were still a
couple of small gaps when it came yesterday morning but I've since finished it off. Hopefully that's an end to my pond drama. It's horrible that that
bloody bird took some of our fish, but at least the mystery is now solved and I can relax again.
