Dentist again

The thing which went wrong was that there were no trains between 14:30 (I missed the 14:30) and 16:30. I arrived at the station for the journey back at 15:00. So I sat on Llanfairfechan station for an hour and a half. It being a little halt, probably the least busy station on that line, there was nothing to do - no cafe and nothing to see. An hour and a half of nothing to do - and I couldn’t even walk back to the village and go to a cafe there.
I am told (by the taxi driver in Bangor) that the delay was because “some people” had stolen some of the copper wire that carries the signals. I don’t know if that’s true.
The dental work itself was completely painless. The dentist uses some kind of orange flavoured stuff that numbs the gum before putting the novocaine in. None of my dentists before him did that, but it’s a revelation.
I have a further appointment in November.

Speaking as a cultural outsider and lay reader myself, I think she does this quite well. Specifically, I think she does good work with the First Branch (The Prince of Annwn), and the Second (The Children of Llyr) and Third (The Song of Rhiannon) are among the most engaging and rewarding works I've read in a very long time! The Fourth Branch (The Island of the Mighty, a.k.a. The Virgin and the Swine), which was the first she wrote, is hit and miss for me but still worth reading. The whole work is generally quite feminist; I have no doubt was a huge influence on The Mists of Avalon.Spoilery review follows...( Read more... )

Last time we saw Maxwell Lord, he was bleeding out and likely already dead, and his killer was receiving instant karma from Max's digital ally:

What could be a more disturbing sight to find in Max's office than that? Well, this comes pretty close:
