gone to the dogs
Went to the dogs yesterday, to do some innocent betting on greyhounds, that will probably be shot and buried in some disused estate in a few years. I can recommend that you don’t drink alcohol whilst taking anti-biotics; I knew … Continue reading

Dentist
Had my tooth looked at – temporarily fixed and antibiotics prescribed, until I get the tooth extracted. The dentist realised that I was a nervous patient (I HATE dentists) and was really good with me. So much so – that … Continue reading
