Dan had a dentist appointment at an unGodly hour of the morning, including an X-ray. Their teeth are excellent, there’s no sign of decay, but there is a wisdom tooth coming through. The dentist gave some suggestions about the toothache issue (mostly about using toothpaste for sensitive teeth), and applied a coat of fluoride, but unless we want to get some fissure coatings applied for preventive maintenance, they don’t need to come back for a year (I checked re Hugh and he’s due in April).
In the car on the way home Dan told me they had found a Tumblr blog devoted to American Revolution memes, which is bringing them great joy. I suggested that if they were looking into the American and French Revolutions, it might be interesting to look at what implications they had on the course of Australian history. When we got home I sent them a link. I really need to do a Trello online portfolio card for all the various things they’re sending me on this topic.
The library just rang to let me know that Hugh’s Code Club won’t be starting this week due to the facilitator being ill. Which reminded me that we should go down to the library tomorrow and return an overdue book.
Hugh has been working on challenges in the LotR Minecraft universe all morning. He’s also been telling me about the planned reset of the server, which will remove all the stuff people have built and littered all over the place, reset all the resources, and remove some broken mods. He put away the drying up for me and is planning on making samosas for lunch (it turned out to be more like afternoon tea, but he did make them eventually). He sent me a couple of links to videos he watched: Why Yakuza Don’t Need to Hide and History Summarized: The Ottoman Empire.
Dan took the cat outside for some exploring and sunbathing in the courtyard. They had a great time at their lesson with Eleanor; Eleanor thinks they are sounding magnificent for the recital on Sunday. Dan wants to dress up a little bit to suit the character (Christine from Phantom of the Opera) but they think they can find something in their wardrobe rather than expecting me to find a costume (thankfully).
