Started off oddly, because as I walked towards the dental surgery I could hear loud drilling noises, and for a moment that seemed perfectly natural until it occurred to me that I probably shouldn't expect to hear a dental drill that loudly when I was still twenty metres from the building in which it was being used. Turned out to be the shop next door being renovated with more conventional power tools. Just as well, I think.

Then, after the dentist finished with me, I walked back out into the reception area and found drswirly standing at the counter; it turned out he had the appointment two after mine, which was an odd coincidence.

I'm now back at home; my brain feels a bit better than it did yesterday (although I still didn't sleep well) but now my body is falling apart excitingly. Sigh. Still, at least that means I might play half-decent NetHack today…
