But I can live with that. In fact I'm seriously thinking of telling the dentist not to bother with the repair works at all. Why undergo the pain involved when it's not absolutely necessary? If I was going on a date, blind or otherwise, it might have mattered, but at my age I'm not bothered. Anyway, current situation is that nearly three months now since it happened I'm STILL awaiting a hospital appointment to have X-rays taken. I hope I'm not called now. That'll suit me best. But thanks for asking.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-29949863899721704532016-10-12T22:50:40.296-07:002016-10-12T22:50:40.296-07:00I didn't see 'Rams' on purpose, Judith...I didn't see 'Rams' on purpose, Judith, even though there was every opportunity to catch it. Reason being that I suspected, given its title, it featured said animals a number of times, perhaps in situations of suffering or distress, a feature I always seek to avoid. I dare say you or someone will tell me that, in fact, it didn't show these, in which case I made a bad decision. But otherwise I would certainly have seen it as it sounded like my 'type' of film - and Iceland is such a fascinating country anyway, somewhere I've never visited, one of the reasons being that I reckon it must be quite difficult eating as a veggie in that fish-heavy country.

I will definitely give it a miss. Regarding Iceland, have you seen a quirky and utterly beguiling film called "Rams", set in Iceland? Spectacular snowbound scenery, minimal dialogue.
