    Swedish Halloween Movie Night here, with Låt den rätte komma in (2008), or Let the Right One In in English. A twelve-year-old boy meets a twelve-year-old girl, but as we know from that nice Swedish lady at the Interesting Conference the other year, supernatural beings walk the mountains, forests, and housing estates of Sweden (despite the Swedes’ attempts to pretend otherwise to the rest of the world) and all is not as it seems…

    Excellent film, I thought, and worth a watch even on nights when the forces of darkness aren’t exalted

    Early night now, for I have the dentist in the morning

    Goodnight all
    At least you did not watch Marathon Man.

          Morning denizens

          Grey day here, and a less-than-balmy 9°C

            Agreed!

            Actually quite sunny here now with some blue through the clouds.

              At the dentist

              Comment


                Back from the dentist, where the pause since my last appointment, intended for my gums to recover from the double extraction, seems to have had the side effect of resetting their systems and completely erasing all memory of the ongoing course of treatment that I thought was still in progress.

                So I was greeted by the dentist with a breezy "Just a check-up today, is it?" and had to go back over the whole course of treatment I'd already had, including the three or four attempts at performing a root canal before he gave up and pulled the damn thing out. I'm still not convinced they had any record of any of it

                Still, I've just checked and I'd never paid them, so as far as that's concerned it still works out as being the same course of treatment, just with a repeat of some paperwork; and as the previous treatment plan was shot to ribbons by now anyway, I don't suppose it makes much difference. Doesn't inspire much confidence in their administrative procedures, though

                  Not inspired with confidence indeed!

                    They could do with a new computer program to manage their systems.

                    Does anyone know someone with some coding skills?

                      Lots of time and date stuff involved - I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole
