A wild Nat appeared!
Stranger still, she's sharing a photo of herself with her teeth on show! I know there's nothing inherently wrong with those teeth, a bit of overcrowding, a slight overbite and they're sensitive to hot and cold, but they're mine.
When I was a teenager, an orthodontist told me my teeth were too big for my mouth and I needed 5 removed, to have a straight smile. I didn't think it was necessary to have healthy teeth taken out, especially given my health issues, so I chose not to. Regardless, those comments have followed me for years and I've rarely smiled with my teeth showing in photos ever since. It's a shame, really. The insecurities form in a young girl's mind.
Anyway, it's mid March and I'm still trying to get back into the swing of running a little business this year. I've lost a few stockists and sales are down, and I know I'm not the only one feeling it. March is also my late mum's birthday and Mothering Sunday so I've been dipping in and out, and doing my best not to punish myself for being out of step.
I hope you're all looking after yourselves, and if it hasn't already found you, give Small Prophets a try. "The magical and the mundane unfold in a suburban shed as a lonely man stumbles into the supernatural. A weird and wonderful world from Mackenzie Crook..."
As a fellow shed-dweller, and collector of old books and curios, I feel a strong affinity to Michael (and his homunculi). One of the nicest things I've watched in a long while.
