Getting Better
In some ways I am.
Yesterday, I went to my new dentist, who is in Notting Hill conveniently on the Central or Shopping line, rather than my last one who is in Felixstowe. Sorry Andrew, but it’s a bit far to go for pain!
I was asked to fill in a form and this asked what my occupation was. I said it was Getting Better, which raised a bit of a titter, even if it is true.
My new dentist is actually my son’s dentist. And he felt that I must have been very young, when I became his father. Was 23 really that young?
Anyway, the check found nothing wrong, except for a tooth I broke about thirty years ago, which has been giving me a bit of trouble since the stroke. The new dentist just X-rayed it and said that the root was fine, which is what my old dentist had recommended. It probably won’t last another thirty years, but will I?
I was just booked in for the hygienist and that was it.
So that was pretty painless!
And Now Recycled Cardboard is a Health Danger!
According to this report on the BBC, the ink in recycled cardboard used in food packaging is a health risk. I have a feeling too, that Nick Higham’s report was actually filmed not far from me. It was certainly somewhere in Hackney.
Apparently, the problem is the mineral oils in the ink.
I know it was years ago, but my father had terrible dermatitis because according to the doctor of all the solvents in printing ink.
Whilst on the subject of paper, I find difficulty reading a newspaper, as I find turning the pages difficult. I thought it was because of the stroke and lack of feeling in my hands, but others, who are young and fit also have the problem. I’ve been told it’s down to the amount of recycled paper used these days.
An Essex Man Becomes a Star
Lionel Messi is one of the world’s highest-paid footballers, who plays for Barcelona. But in a recent ad for Adidas he was played by an Essex PE teacher, who plays for Canvey Island.
I suppose someones got to do it, if Messi can’t be bothered to get out of bed.
