A visit to the dentist...
I know I claimed I cannot go out anymore only yesterday… In contradiction with myself today I went out…
Well, it was not a very entertaining social life happening, it was just for a visit to my dentist.
Usually people hate to go to the dentist, but I see something very positive in that…the fact that at my age (I’m 89, don’t forget it!) I have still most of my teeth and I intend to save them.
This photo shows my dentist’s waiting room.
It has an advantage; there are really the most beautiful and various magazines, but one has never time to read all of them.
My dentist has a hobby – modelling – you can see on the table a model of motorcycle.
There were many other things to see and many other magazines to read, but my turn came and I went into his cabinet.
I can reassure you, he’s also a good dentist, and I had not any pain at all!

I received a yellow bouquet this morning
I have found out that the real English name for this flower is Acacia dealbata.
What could I do without Google by now?
If they had told me, only some years ago that I would have been able to find an answer for nearly all my questions just clicking on a keyboard and looking at a kind of personal TV screen I would have smiled with incredulity…
Acacia dealbata…yes, but I prefer to call it mimosa, it sound less pompous and much more evocative.
I’m happy with my flowers, whatever they are called.
I received them this morning and they have brought a big smile on my face.
This is the first post in my blog, I’m learning.
I hope I’ll do better.
I do like learning all what I still can learn.
One is never too old to learn something new!
