desperanceIf there's one thing I resent more than the collapse of National Health dentistry and the consequent expense of dental work, it's expensive dental work that doesn't, you know, work...
Or in other words I must go back to the dentist this afternoon. My delivery has two hours to arrive, or I will miss it, after waiting in all day for same. Snarl.
But! I have found a new place to put a small bookcase! A hitherto-unsuspected wall! And if you're sitting there thinking "this is his house, and he's lived in it a dozen years already; how can there be a hitherto-unsuspected wall?" then I hope I need only tell you that my dining-room has fifteen walls and seventeen corners, and you will understand that it's not really any great surprise to find a wall just where I needed one. (This is, be it admitted, an unusual house.)
Now I need one more such revelation, and we're laughing. Or smiling snidely, at any rate. I'm not sure I could rise to an actual laugh. We eke out our victories in scruples, in this house.
