Dentist Wars

I didn't sleep well last night. Too hot and a sore throat and I panicked and thought I was getting ill again. This kept Huffle awake too. Ooooppps. I'm not ill. Still got an annoying cough but otherwise all is well.

The boys were watching Cars when I came down and we watched with them until breakfast. This morning there was table tennis, x-box and Skip-Bo. Midday we went out to take the boys to their dentist appointment. No cavities, good toothbrushing by both and nothing for them to worry about except to get into the habit of flossing. It took at least an hour and Huffle went off and did some food shopping while Moo and I sat and read magazines and did a crossword. I spoke to the receptionist (who is so much more than that but I don't know what her title is) and told her I did not want to go ahead with my $6k treatment and I don't like the dentist who wants to do the work. She said she could find me a different specialist if I wanted and I asked her to sort out alternative treatment and to see if my normal dentist could do the work as I trusted him. She had a word with him said she would call me later to discuss options. I do like them there, they are very accomodating but I guess at $6k they can afford to be!!!! I made new appointments for the kids for October and we all went on our way.

The boys had fluoride applications so weren't allowed any hot sticky food for two hours which scuppered our plans of dinner before we went to the cinema. Huffle picked up a baguette and we had our normal broken bits of baguettes stuffed with laughing cow by Moo standing in a car park. Baguettes in one pocket and bottle of water in the other with hidden choccies in another before we got to the cinema.

Today we went to see Star Wars Rogue One. It took me nearly the whole of the film to work out where we were timewise in the film as I expected the film to carry on from the one released last year. Silly me. I also fell asleep a couple of times. Not for too long as the sound of the fighting woke me. The film was good but I felt I spent too long wondering when we were going o find out who was the father of the last girl in the film and whether Luke Skywalker was going to appear. When I saw DarthvAder I kind of realised we were in a different time zone altogether. I looked across at Moo part way through and wondered if she had any idea what was going on. Smallest fidgeted through the whole film and Small played with his hoodie strings. Huffle said his eyes were heavy a few times. All in all though, a good film. I now need to watch them in order so I know what's going on though I appreciate this one possibly runs alongside the original first one aaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh. Give me a good superhero film any day!!!!

We went on to the chip shop and had a fish and chip dinner before coming home and hiding from Moo and scaring her just a little bit! More table tennis and a few games of Q-Bitz before Smallest went to bed and Small and Huffle finished off their FIFA game.
