Well thankfully here in Australia the covid thing has died down a lot. If I’m honest compared to other countries here in regional Australia it was never really a ‘thing’. We have a lot of space, few people and so social distancing is kinda how we roll. I have zero interest in spending time in shopping centres and because the sun shines every day we don’t all go mental to cram into public spaces every time the weather has a break in the drizzle so we’ve not all spread it to each other.  The dentist opened up again and so have the pubs- though they are not directly related. ( perhaps they should be?)

I have had to wear a mask at work, which actually is not a problem, it saves me from stressing about bad breath ( mine and the patients) and certainly means less bother after lunch and having to worry about spinach in my teeth.

Mental note to any of the Braced if they are wearing masks;

1; Don’t wear lipstick. The mask just smears it all over your face and if you have to take it off you will end up looking like the Joker on a bad day.

2: Don’t smile under the mask. You end up catching the brackets on the inside of the mask and it’s pretty odd trying to talk and unhitch yourself from the mask at the same time. Just smile with your eyes and keep your lips sealed.

Anyhoo, I finally got back to the Ortho after all this time and I’m officially DONE!

He’s re wired me for my final push and in 6 weeks time he promised me he will take them off.

HURRAH!!!!!!!!!!!

This will now be the longest 6 weeks of my life………
