2023 December – Don’t ask, Crimbo Naps, New Years Eve Swim, Happy Crimble

Don’t ask

Why is it sometimes necessary to get a second opinion from a dentist? Because each dentist has their own floss-ophy.

Where do killer whales go to get their teeth straightened? The orca-dontist

What does a dentist call an x-ray? Tooth pics.

Yep.

Enough now.

Enough.

 

Crimbo Naps

This is a picture of lovely me taking a little nap because it has been a super busy month with all sorts of the usual nonsense and pandemonium in the run up to Christmas.

Paul, the Christmas Octopus is back again.

I am ignoring him.

 

New Years Eve Swim

Utter madness – again.  In fact Mum bottled it and didn’t go in. Not like her at all.   And she’d got changed and everything.

Still she made up for it later by getting behind the bar at The Ferry (they didn’t ask her but she got fed up with waiting for service) and made everyone’s post swim drinks.  Weirdly, the staff didn’t object at all, perhaps they were grateful for the help?  Or maybe Mum can occasionally be a bit of an unstoppable force.   She seems so unassuming most of the time.

Wolf in sheep’s clothing eh?

A bit like me.

 

Happy Crimble

Anyway, Happy Crimble everyone and see you on the other side!
