T1 was referrered by the dentist about three years ago, and we finally got an appointment for some teeth straightening. Now the cynic in me was saying they just delay these things until you're eighteen and have to pay for it, and they're sure to say "we can fit you in just after you start paying as an adult"... but on the way there I had a word with myself, I always look on the it-is-a-rip-off side, and it might be. And so far it is not, they x-rayed, he needs a brace, they can fit the brace in a couple of months, then he has to come back every twelve weeks to have it adjusted, probably for a year, maybe two. He will be starting university with a brace, but I don't suppose that is uncommon. He's ok with that, he jumped a bit at the thought of maybe having some teeth out in order to fit the brace. That is just a maybe, but on returning home wife said, er, I had seven teeth taken out in order to fit my brace. They were baby teeth, and his are not, so hopefully none. But it'll be fine.
Also went to the comic shop, new Daredevil, and I'm dipping into 2000ad again just to see.
What will I do with the rest of my afternoon off? Got some food prep, then maybe go in the loft, look for CDs and minidiscs. Watch some more of that video figuring out how to use my radio.
Sunny and a moderate breeze, 2 - 10℃.
