Wahoo! I just checked my youtube statistics and Drawing School has now hit 100,000 views! I looked earlier and it was 99,009, so I knew it would be today.
What a thrill!
No More Toothache
I’ve just been to the dentist – something most people fear, but I have great faith in Andrew, my dentist. I’ve been putting up with a low dull ache in a crown that he fitted over a year ago. Putting up with, because I didn’t want to be told it would have to be replaced or worse.
This morning he ground a tiny piece off the occlusal face of the tooth, (I learned that occlusal is the part of a tooth that meets another tooth in the other jaw). It feels totally different. What had felt like a big tooth is now normal. I can’t bite on it in the same way as before and so am not having the same dull pain as before.
Such a simple remedy. Such relief!
Apple Juice
On holiday in Suffolk recently, I was pleased to find apple juice available in pubs and fish and chip shops. Drivers, and those who don’t want to drink alcohol, are generally stuck with water or a choice of bottled sweet and sticky chemical junk. J20 is the drink that seems to be available everywhere. I find it sickly sweet and syrupy.
Recently I’ve come across OJ which is really nice orange juice, but hard to find. The ubiquitous Britvic equivalent doesn’t do it for me – it tastes over-produced.
But to find not only bottles of apple juice available, but juice from different varieties of apple, was terrific.
Country pubs that rely on drivers to bring customers to them, should put more thought into drinks for the drivers. There must be fabulous profit to be made by making fresh non-alcaholic drinks and charging a gourmet premioum. How about anon-alcoholic drink of the day to make it more interesting?
