Afternoon all.

Out on the bike this morning, for a blustery ride around the wilds of Nottinghamshire.

Back home to find Mrs B laid up with tooth ache which based on experience is probably due to an infection. Local dentists don't operate an out of hours service but tell you to ring 111, who tell you to take painkillers and go to a dentist...

Gargle with a chewing action round the sore tooth with a strong salt solution, every hour or so.
and ibuprofen if you have it.

Apparently a combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol can be helpful for dental pain, and averts the problem of taking too much of either.

Oh, and combination ibuprofen (or paracetamol) and codeine is available over the counter and pretty effective, though you can't take it for more than a few days because of addiction.

Phone call with my parents. Apparently this lurgy of mine has had its grip on them too: my father came down with it two weeks ago and my mother last week. Also, my brother came down with it a couple of days ago. So I think we can safely conclude that There's A Lot Of It About™

The price of oil has just started to rise.
I know this because I’ve begun the fire-up process for the Rayburn.
Winter is officially on its way.

Popped up to the Amazon Locker to collect some stuff, and took the opportunity to go over to Sainsbury's Local. They didn't have any fresh lemons, but I've got lemon juice in the fridge so that's OK. I was able to get some honey, though. And the only single malt they had, being a convenience store, was a Jura 10 year old, which I am happy to slum with for now. So I am finally in a position to make myself one of those hot toddies that one hears so much of

Fun fact: this is the first time I've had a bottle of Scotch in my home since I was a student, so about 35 years

For the next 24 hours it will be running at 6 to get the flue up to temperature. That means burning around about 4 litres of oil an hour.
