Friiiiiiday!
thefridayfive questions are up:
1. Do you brush your teeth at least 2-3 times a day?
I brush my teeth twice a day - once after breakfast and once just before I get into bed.
2. Do you whiten your teeth?
I've whitened them once, and I went to my dentist for a system that uses a gel that you use on your teeth overnight (the gel goes into tooth guards you wear over 7 nights). It's a gentle system and safe for my elderly teeth. I was pleased with the results as my teeth definitely cleaned up using the gel (not overly bright!). I have enough of the gel to do them again, and I might do that before the end of the year.
3. Have you ever worn braces?
I did - I wore old fashioned braces that came on a plate (like false teeth, none of the wired things attached to your teeth like my boys had!) so really difficult to talk around. The plate was in two halves and had a screw in the middle to slowly stretch the top palate of my mouth apart sideways to make more space for the teeth at the front of my mouth. It was so uncomfortable and although my teeth were lovely and straight for years they slowly moved back so the front ones are out of alignment again now.
4. Do you ever wish you had worn braces, or wish you had never worn them?
I wish my dentist had taken teeth out to correct the overcrowding in my mouth as it's frustrating to still have slightly uneven teeth at the front....
5. Have you ever made fun of someone with glasses or braces?
Of course not!
It's been a day of busy stuff - a visit to the hair salon after a gap of 7 weeks, so sorely needed! I walked there, which is a nice 2 mile walk, so useful for keeping up my workouts. My hair looks fabulous dahling. We had a large lunch and then I had some work for the bellydance mentor to get done. Early evening we went to a Eltham Palace Enchanted Gardens. A little smaller than Kew Gardens illuminated gardens, but lovely all the same. We enjoyed it and it felt a bit festive, but it was quite cold and so we didn't linger too long. Now we are relaxing, surrounded by cats, the weekend is going to be busy - starting with a long Nordic guided walk tomorrow morning.
