Erky's in a lot of trouble - but is it ever any different - it's always something with him nothing ever seems to go his way - and I'll bet there's a few of us that can relate to that.

 

As the saying goes - if it's not one thing it's another - and as we seem to be working our way all around the body - and not wishing to favour one extremity over another - our journey continues - uphill - from the smallest toe - then thankfully circling past remote, and long unexplored, jungle regions - to plunge the caverns of the heart we have arrived back at . . .  .

That's right - the teeth.   Oh no - not again.   Yes - again.

made it smaller and less clear so that there's no fainting.

It was a good front tooth for about 56 years until it got yanked out.

 

And let's not forget - of course there is the matter of . . . . .

 

Well we certainly do.

So according to law - I did the usual - and placed the tooth under my pillow

and waited - heart racing - (Oh oh - not again) - with expectable possumbillies.

Penny and I could hardly go to sleep - but as that's part of the 'fairy' deal - we did.
