I am sure you are all delighted and thrilled to hear that my back has unlocked, no more shooting pain and I can now move with ease, well more or less, I still have to take the odd amble around the apartment to make sure I don't seize up again, but oh the relief. Every time I have one of these episodes I realise I have forgotten how painful they can be. While searching Random for a review of a while back, I came across a post dated June 2007 in which I lamented that I could barely move and was laid low with a bad back, so it seems as if I have been inflicting my aches and pains on you on a regular basis.
Sorry.
Anyway let's get the next boring thing over - I am sitting here in a tremble and quivering like an aspen after a sleepless night. The reason for this is that I am going to The Dentist later on today (Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors has featured largely in my thoughts in the twilight hours). I have a totally irrational fear and dislike of the dentist with all his drills and instruments and sometimes when lying on the tip back chair with the light shining down and a masked face leaning over me saying 'Open wide' I have this desire to leap to my feet and run shrieking and screaming from the room never to return. That this is stupid I know but nothing I can do about it.
Enough - I am sure I will survive.
OK so this is a Random Ramble and thought you might like to see some of the new arrivals that have dropped through my letter box in the last week or so.
Delighted with the latest two from the Bloomsbury Group and you can see that I have reached the giddy heights of fame with my tag line on the back of Love's Shadow by Ada Leverson. Please note it is me and Dame Edna, together, next to one another, in juxtaposition.....what more can life hold for me?
Kisses on a Postcard I have already written about and just a simply gorgeous book which I recommend to everyone. The new Atwood looks pretty formidable and I may need to be in post-Dentist mood to tackle this one. I have dipped into it and know that it will need all my concentration.
More later if I have the mental fortitude after my ordeal this morning. Stupid thing is, this is just the initial examination and it will be future appointments that will be the real test as I know I have a couple of fillings to do and plaque to be sorted and oh, it is all too much to bear.
Have a nice day everyone.
