Yarnivorous

G'day all! Toofy-peg is fixed. The novocaine/whatever was pina colada flavoured - much nicer than the bitter plain one back 'ome, only I can't feel half my tongue, part of my pharynx or most of my left lower jaw.

Between that and swallowing being a trial (now with added the drool from the numb side), I fear I won't be much fun to be around for the next while. So let's have some Eye Candy Monday instead.

Plus I shall visit a yarn shop (= happy me) that apparently has a good bakery next to it (= happy DH). Well that is the plan anyway. Why am I not seeing a dentist asap?
