No fillings, just a bit of grinding away at an old filling and then a coat of varnish on some well worn teeth.
Still, no fillings and therefore, no injections. Totally painless.
Nothing planned for the rest of the day, but that was just as well as the weather was what the weather fairies call “mixed” when they either don’t know or don’t want to tell you what they do know. There was going to be some wet stuff, that was for sure. Settled for cutting out the last pieces of material and preparing for the final assembly. Then I got fed up with it all and after lunch I went out to take some photos. With a bit more of a breeze blowing the clouds around today I reckoned I could manage to get a 60 frame time lapse shot in between showers, so I drove up to the parking place behind Fannyside Lochs and set up the tripod. For a change, I used the Samyang 7.5 to get a wider view and therefore more drama in the cloudscape. Got everything set up and took the first set of frames. It was when I was watching the movie on the screen that I realised I’d be in the shot because I’d gone for a walk instead of just standing around watching the frames count down. Also, there wasn’t a very interesting landscape, so for the next set I moved the tripod to a place that was more sheltered, gave a more interesting view and where I wouldn’t walk into shot. That one looked better, but the cloudscape was better in the first one. Just got packed up when the first spits and spots of rain came. Drove to Tesco to buy the makings of dinner which was to be Crispy Paprika Chicken with Tomatoes and Lentils.
With that in the bag, I drove over to a wee back road to Kirkintilloch to try for version 3 of the time lapse, but it wasn’t quite right for the TL. Instead I cobbled together a panorama using six frames shot in portrait format for later joining in Lightroom. Happier with that, I headed home, knowing in my heart of hearts that the pano would make PoD and that perhaps the time lapse is now out of my system. Drove back through torrential rain. Got to the house and the sun came out! Dinner was a partial success. I liked it and although Scamp agreed, she also made some suggestions for next time. The key phrase is “Next Time”. So it wasn’t a total failure, just a work in progress. Thinner cut fennel slices and no water cress. I think she might be right.
That was about it for the day. Word had come in during the afternoon that Jackie and Murd will be staying overnight on Saturday, so some tidying up and general reorganization will be needed in the tailor’s shop upstairs. That may take up a fair bit of tomorrow’s time. Other than that, we have no great plans for Friday.
