Update: toothache, opera, redheads, boiler

My back tooth rrreeeeeeelly hurts. I took it to the dentist who x-rayed it and said it seemed OK. Now I'm on anti-biotics for a gum infection and so am now into double figures on painkillers. Won't be long before I'm into treble figures on dental work. Lovely.

The painkillers might well have turned up at the right time, not only for my gums but for my ears when larians took me to see Ligeti's opera 'Le Grande Macabre' at the Coliseum. Gad.Awe-inspiring stage work, tepid music, discordance can be great, sameness never is. Worth seeing but I was ready to go home by the time it ended.

I'm a redhead now, got bored with the blonde. Looks great, trouble is how it looks under studio lights cos tans don't really work with red hair. If I put colour on, I look like a lean tangerine. If I don't I am lardgirl. Feh.

Re filming, great quotes for filming, very cheap, but still beyond my pittance...well, almost. No holiday this year and I will have to work Xmas/New year.

My cats are happy, my partner is lovely. Our lives are only slightly marred by a packed up boiler.

And the tiniest teeniest element of bone-tiredness.
