Drowning in kingswood, and sweet spuds!
Right then, i can finally settle down and write a reasonably long entry again! I know ive kept you all waiting but hey! Absence only makes the heart grow fonder!
Just for gem, who thinks i've got a bit of a fixation with checking my blog in the middle of the night, i repeat my last message - i do not, repeat do not, check my blog at any time between 10pm and 10am the following morning. Now, can we move on please?!
So, to recent events. Well, i think one particularly noteworthy thing of recent days has to have been our church services on sun. That may sound a bit funny but i think they were seriously good. God just turned up and i for one was seriously blessed to have been there.
Suppose yesterday threw up an unusual event for me; the dentist!! His room is on the top floor (out of 3 floors) in the kingswood dentist place. Hes quite an interesting guy really. Hes prob about 35, looks like a student, wears jeans, is quite lanky but looks quite intelligent, and hes also got a friendly sort of manner. Reminds me of phil actually. He didnt do much to my teeth except scrape a bit of plaque off at the bottom on the front and at the top on the sides. It cost £15! To have your teeth cleaned! Cost me £5 last time. When he was scraping the plaque off though he got his assistant to squirt this stuff into my mouth at the same time, kind of like some cleaning liquid i imagine, and then it kind of gets sucked back up using the same nozzle thing that it comes out of. This time i handled it all quite well. But i remember last time i went back in the summer, and i'd never had it done before and so i didn't have a clue what this woman was doing, pumping loads of water stuff into my mouth, i was a little bit all over the place cos, well, to be quite honest, my mouth can only contain so much water before i have to start swallowing, and i was kind of getting near the stage where id have to either swallow or drown on the dentists chair. I actually spat it out, much to the disgust of my then dentist. But honestly, they could warn you couldn't they? I mean, i dont really expect to have to deal with the possibility of drowning at 9.oo in the morning in my local dentists.
What is the best way of eating a sweet potato? Mashed. Definitely. You dont really want to be eating the things on their own. I had one the other day, sort of next to the normal potatoes on my plate, and it was just a bit much to stomach really. But then yesterday my mum mashed it with some corned beef hash stuff, and you just couldnt tell it was there! Great stuff. Come to that, thats my key to eating foods which are on your plate which you really dont like - cut them up really small, and stick it with a bit of spud, or something else on your plate that you like.
