Yesterday Nigel had an appointment for a check up at the dentist. He came back in buoyant mood saying that the dentist was full of praise for his unscrupulous dental grooming and she really looked forward to seeing him again in six months time.
While pleased that his mouth had once again passed muster, Nigel does not have a single filling, I know he has always had a long felt want for a brace “ ….like what the posh people do”
However, I have to thank goodness that this will probably never be the case, because if he did, we would undoubtedly have to cancel our Greek Odysseys and Christmas for at least the next six years!
So for now Nigel will have to remain a stranger to the brace, unless it’s secured in a display case
The little fella also couldn’t help noticing, what he called the "designer" toothpaste and toothbrushes, thinking one might be a nice present for Darrell, a little something to match the ambiance of our new en-suite perhaps?
However, when Nigel noticed the price it was all little too expensive for his pocket and anyway the range of flavours, well, they just confused him ………. Apple and Aloe for the Explorer, Gin Tonic and Persimmon for the Challenger and Liquorice and Blackberry for the Daydreamer. As far as Nigel was concerned toothpaste was toothpaste, no matter how glamorous the tube and coordinating toothbrush, so for now Darrell would have to make do with good old Colgate.
…….. and the free samples from the bowl by the reception desk, as I had already asked Nigel to bring a couple home to put away for our weekends away and holidays. What am I like?
