So, the last few days.
I have a lunch on Saturday.

It is Hisashi’s birthday

The moustache seems to be coming on well. Such a large audience for the tooth job – which one’s the dentist? Hope the pain’s gone now.
Hai!! Alan,
The lady on the left is the dentist sensei. She gave me the longest injection I have ever had at a dentist. I believe that she was so worried about inducing pain that she waited for the novocaine to act each time before sliding the needle in another millimetre. It was fun and they loved posing for photos. It should be noted that this took place at 8:30 pm. People really work here.
