Managed to make an emergency appointment at the dentist for today, as I don't need raging toothache as well as dodgy knee and ankle while I am camping with Anya and Isobel! Tina dropped me in town on her way to her meeting as I had a list of bits to do. I sat down for a bit near the bank and got to look more closely at the buildings. Banks are often really attractive buildings and the Nat West in Scarborough is no exception.

The Tudor effect building next to it must have been very striking when it was in better repair.

Another sit down a bit further up the street and this little lass was in the big deck chair.

I caught the bus home as both ankle and knee were on the sore side today. Got some washing hung out and watered the bonsai trees. Had a cuppa with Tina before she went out for a last lunch with Martyn and Joyce and a while after that I set off for the dentist. The hollyhock in the front garden is gorgeous.

The dentist was good, took an xray and couldn't detect anything wrong but said she would remove some of the filling and redo it. The old filling fell out so she ended up doing a complete replacement. As I had paid for fillings quite recently she didn't even charge me! Have eaten something since and it seems to be okay. I cut through to the cliff top and sat there for a while, it was a beautiful day. Inspired by some photos Mike took I took this wild flower by the sea, well, up on the cliff actually but you get my drift!

The castle from a bit further along the cliff.

And a busy August day on the beach!

I love cosmos flowers, must grow some again when we move., this picture has the cosmos a bit blurred but it is quite a good effect unintentionally!

This evening has been wrapping presents and getting phone calls made. Charlie curls up on the foot rest with difficulty!
