We're back!

Apologies for the lack of recent posts, we have been having technical issues with the blog, which I hope are now resolved.

Proper post soon, if I can remember all the things I have wanted to say since it's been down!

*Edit* I see some of the blogs I attempted to post have now published anyway, hooray!

You can't hide from me!

I live fairly close to where I work. On Friday I helped out at the community bonfire night, serving hot-dogs. Cue gaggles of teenage girls wearing braces giving me shy "hello"s as they recognised their orthodontist in an unexpected place!

Half way through the evening a group of four returned, three holding toffee apples. The fourth indicated her brace, which had just broken, asking me what to do about it. "Were you eating a toffee apple G?" I asked. She answered "no", but I knew otherwise, the red sugar round her mouth rather giving her away!

She felt suitably sheepish I think. No big problem, I can repair it, but she has now learned why the advice to avoid hard food is given to brace wearers.
