Melanie and I took Dr Hanes and Susan to Yepoon last night for tea. Dr Hanes is a person from the uni Melanie went to in America who has just sailed his way from the US to New Zealand. They are driving from Cairns to Sydney then taking the train to Perth and stopped by Rocky yesterday.

We ate at the sailing club, which was pretty good. I had a cajun fish dish which was interesting. The menu said it came with sour cream and salsa, but when i got it the sour cream actually had cajun spices in it. The fish was also battered in a cajun batter, so it along witht he sauce made for a pretty yummy meal.

Before we went to Yepoon we took them to the Rocky zoo and the gardens, it was pretty cool. Hearing the stories from Dr Hanes and Susan was entertaining.

Cant see myself ever sailing myself on a big journey like that, im not sure what id do stuck on a boat for that long. I guess id get a lot of books read.

Well, the dentist appointment i made 4 months ago finally happened today, 4 months to wait and i was in and out in around 20mins.

Seems my teeth are ok, a bit worn from the coke i drink but not too bad. He patched up one of my back teeth with a small filling and basically gave them a clean. I asked him about the wierd spcer thing i have in the middle of my bottom teeth, something a dentist put in there ages ago to apparently stop my teeth moving. His opinion of it was i may as well just have it taken out, its not really doing all that much in there.

Kinda weird. He said it wasnt doing me any harm either, so i decided to just leave it there for the time being. He seems to think that it will eventually fall out on its own and he would be reluctant to put it back in. /shrugs

Other then that, my teeth are fine. yay! The build up of calculus i get is somewhat normal he says, and just means i need an appointment every 12 months to get them cleaned. Funny thing is, he is booked through till march next year already, so i figured id make an appointment today.

So yeah, I have a dentist appointment on 23 August 2007 @ 10:30am which is kind of funny considering im not sure what im doing next week let alone a year from now.

If anyone sees me the week of 23rd August next year, please remind me i have a dentist appointment.
