    This picture has a lot going for it. I noticed that someone said it was hilarious, and I cannot see that side of it.
    I see the reflection of the sky on the bricks, the sky itself (however secondary), then the couple, the Café sign.
    Using the building and the light post to frame the tower worked very well. Yes, this doesn’t make me laugh, but it does make me stop for a while.

      😆 nope, there is nothing hilarious in this shot. I thought it may be the shorts on the guy in the foreground ;). I have learned lately not to take all comments seriously ;). Today I had to spam one. The same person left me a longish comment that was something between a romanesque imagination and meaningless babbling, and a bit later he/she/it left me another one this same pic (I haven’t replied anything) stating:” this is silly.” I wonder sometimes who is behind such comments, and also I wonder at times who are the people that leave 2 stars under other people’s pics 😀 The world unfortunately is full of weirdos. I am happy and honoured to see you here Dinkerson. I know how busy you are. Thank you.

        So sorry to hear Paula . . .are you on antibiotics and using an ice-pack to help the swelling go down?

          Both, I am using ice-pack though I am afraid to make burns on my face as I did on my back a while ago, and I am on my second round of antibiotics which are making me so sick to my stomach – I am not using anything for the pain to avoid more stomach pains. It will probably get better – my problem is that I am the most impatient and pessimistic patient around – always fearing the worst.

            Are you eating, and keeping up the fluids? Soups, ice-cream and other soft foods should help, plus yoghurt to counter possible effects (i.e. candida) from the antibiotics. And I really wouldn’t hesitate to take a painkiller but I wouldn’t take anything on an empty stomach, which is why you need to eat small amounts. Have you wrapped the ice pack in a soft cloth? Wish I could bring you some chicken soup!

              You are very sweet Patti. The fact is that I am so used to supporting pain that I don’t need any for this tooth, and I am always taking probiotics – this is a tricky part with my digestive system – I used to have an ulcer. Now I have some medicinal probiotic yoghurt,but it will be more effective when I stop the bloody antibiotics on Monday. I am eating soft, but don’t have much appetite now. You have mentioned all the necessary steps which makes me think you have gone through the same things before. I had two cysts on my teeth and surgery 20 years ago and I recovered so much faster – bloody aging 😦

                Those cysts sounds so painful, not to mention the ulcer . . . at least you will be off the AB’s soon enough. Yes, I am too familiar with dental surgery (I get a headache just thinking about it!) and I often find that eating tomato and sucking on fresh pineapple helps, like “eating” a mouthwash! All best, onwards and upwards as the cheerful are inclined to intone . . .
