Day #180 Hanging String

Degree show time at the University of Gloucestershire (and everywhere else of course but I don't have anything to do with any of those...) and today my main tasks involved using the scissor lift. Fricking terrifying. Our Fine Art Studios are built in an old basketball gym which is huge, and a little bit more than 8 metres tall, I know that because the scissor lift goes 7 metres up and I could only just reach the roof to tie the various bits of string which will be used to hang various things from for the degree show,  as will this piece of string. Luckily I could paint this on ground level, phew. 

Day #179 Chocolate

Chocolate is deadly. Beware. I had a close call whilst driving is evening, I began to choke on a segment of chocolate very similar to the one you see here on the sweetie tower. I quickly put the hazard lights on, pulled over and got Debbie to belt me on the back. She loved it. The belting me, not me nearly choking to death. *shudder*

Day #178 Toothpaste

Long time readers of this blog will remember my tales of dentists from last Christmas and the Christmas before that (I have not been lucky with my upper left area) Well, today I went to a new dentist and she didn't pull out or drill any of my teeth. yay! Which means the pain in my sinuses is actually in my sinuses. Opticians next, i want to check it's not my eyes before we go back to the doctors. I'm going for a triple whammy this week Dentist, Optician and Doctor. I wonder if I could squeeze in a chiropodist appointment too..... Aaaaanyway here is some toothpaste although I'm told I need to floss more. I hate flossing. But I hate fillings more. Might paint some floss tomorrow.
