Sunshine on my shoulders

Makes for pink skin!

I’ve obviously been out in the sun more than I’d realised today. We had a long day, trekking to the next town by bus as the car’s still in the garage. It was our dentist checkup, and just one of those things, travelling with one child in buggy and one in the sling.

I hate buses. I hate not knowing where I’m going or where I need to get off. Not knowing how long it will take, how much it will cost. Trying to work out even to ring the bell, when to start trying to wrestle your stuff out of the luggage rack and so on.

But we made it. We were even early. And the dentist saw us early and we managed to persuade smallest into the chair to have her teeth counted. Tigerboy had his teeth counted too. Apparently they will straighten up.

Then we made it to the temporary stop and there was a relevant bus already there meaning that we got home in time for lunch before second appt of the day for Smallest’s vax.

That wasn’t much fun. Particularly when she held her breath afterwards. In shock I think. I took her to the works and bought her a jumbo tub of pavement chalk and then we spent the afternoon in the garden. Which might be the cause of my pink shoulders I suppose.

Worth it though.

  1. Sounds like a day that went according to plan and everything was ticked off the list. Jolly good. 🙂

  2. What a beautiful post . I love the post .
    Dentists and buses !! Feel me with dread

  3. That last picture is especially beautiful and soulful. You should take the concept forward – a black-and-white portrait maybe…?

      Thanks Phil. I must have a look at it on a proper screen 🙂

  4. Smallest is looking SO grown up! We’ve been playing with chalk a lot too—lots of parking spaces, roads and gas stations drawn for his cars 🙂
