taking Angela to school at 8.30, 

She is recovering from a 3 hour operation to graft skin and bone to her
jaw prior to an implant.

What! When, what, where, why?

She had an abscess next to an existing bridge forcing a further removal. The bone was eroded and the skin discoloured. The choice was to have a second bridge using a sound tooth as an anchor or put up with a denture or dig into savings and have an implant.

The job is being done at a clinic in London (Notting Hill) and requires two sessions of surgery followed by the usual fitting visits. There are issues over proximity to sinuses. A small piece of bone has been removed from the back of the jaw and transplanted to the new location together with some new skin.

After 6 months, when the bone has knitted the Titanium (I think) implant is fitted and allowed to fuse with the jaw. A false tooth is then fitted in three further sessions.

I hope no one is breakfasting while reading this:-)

Yes. Fear of potentially irate neighbour rather than loss of seed.

Wait till they start growing:-)

Optimist.

Huh. You should see the volunteers in my 1st wheat. Crops lady has re-married and is moving to Suffolk. I am trying to work out a telephone/postal system rather than bring on a new agronomist for what may be a short time.

Probably ought to be a new thread but, have you noticed the requirement for sprayer testing in the current ACCS regime? I told FABBL I thought it was a *last straw* and they sounded quite sympathetic.

shortly.

After a cup of tea? 

Yes. Rest of day spent subsoiling tramlines (possibly recreationally)
prior to ploughing for 2nd wheat.


Mine all up, in fact this warm weather means some nearly meeting between
the rows. Not good.

Lot of very forward wheat here. Rape particularly lush. Reasonable soil moisture levels and high temperatures have got seeds away rapidly. With two seed dressings already, I haven't asked for Latitude as well on a 2 ton lot. 

Complaint from Wheat buyer. Too much protein! It's a feed wheat!

Salvation Army farm next door for sale. See FW. You could do a swop:-)

Pah!
