Dental checkup this afternoon. I had an email reminder for my checkup a month ago , this morning I got round to phoning for an appointment, “ we have a cancellation, can you come in at 2pm ” .
I was expecting a long wait for an appointment. I have been a patient at the same practice for over 40 years ,and with the same dentist for at least 35 of those years. My Dentist is now winding down towards retirement and only working 2 days a week. I know totally inconsiderate , I can retire but I don’t see why my dentist should be allowed to retire.

A lovely walk in the sunshine and I took the path alongside the bay. Tide was quite a way out, Lots of cyclists and a few E scooters wizzing to work. Eye test was a breeze, no change from a couple of years ago. I have varifocals with high index and light reactive lenses, I jokingly asked if the lady could “ upsell “ me anything but she explained that the thinner lenses were already included in the price. 😎
New specs will be very lightweight as there’s a fair bit of titanium in the frame, much like Mrs Tenkaykev’s left knee and one of my Brommies 😁

Seems rather strange. Mine is a 1.6 turbo diesel and while I cannot remember exactly cost about £170. May be a bit less but not by much.

Just been to check and in fact I paid £155 for annual VED on a 64 reg 1.6 turbo diesel.

They definitely did a good job of 'selling' the town - those drone shots are amazing!
It really does look lovely here at this time of year with all of the greenery (@12boy!
), but if they had taken the same shots in the winter with bare trees, brown hillsides and murky skies... not quite so nice!
The Eagle has landed.
Only ones on site - suits us!
Dinner is on the go and the beer is chilling in the fridge.
Nice view of @welshdragon land across the estuary - think it might be Chepstow.......but that's our lot innit?

Tell the truth Dirk , there was a mass exodus when you arrived.
Mrs Tenkaykev wandered down to Big Tesco to get a few things. I was having a rest but then decided to head out on " Badger", the Brommie with the rack and the new child seat, I wanted to check handling before using it with our granddaughter. It is a bit strange as the child's saddle impinges slightly on the inner thighs. I deliberately had the saddle height lower than normal as I wanted to be able to quickly put both feet down firmly on the ground without needing to lean the bike. I can see that a different pedalling style will be necessary with my legs skewed outward to allow room for granddaughter to sit between them. I met Mrs Tenkaykev outside Tesco and loaded up a pack of 18 toilet rolls on the rear rack and cycled back at walking pace.
Quite a pleasant little tootle

A belated Good Day all. Started with light rain then very overcast and humid now brightening up a bit.
Today’s walk a circuit around Grantown. Lots of curlew about. Our lunch stop, a bench on the Spey, turned out to be overlooking a dipper nest, nice to watch them flying to and fro. Later we spotted a goldeneye with chicks, three of them.
