We are very lucky to be speaking English. My grandfather was a p.o.w in Germany. My wife's father served there as well.

That is why I have floorboards - easy to keep clean and last more or less forever.

There's something about carpet, makes me feel warm. Plus I'm always bare feet.

Carpets only belong in hotels here. And upper class restaurants.

Generally tiles are the way to go. Particularly in our high temperatures.

I'm starting to wonder why they are called Mayflies. It's 5th June and I'm surrounded by them!

They must be related to the June Bugs we get pretty much anytime in Spring and Summer.

Yeah I love slate tiles in humid countries, nice on the feet.

Okay so I am seeing the emergency dental surgeon today because my jaw has got a massive abcess in one of the open sockets.

The pain was so bad that the emergency room gave me oxycodone for tonight because the dental surgeon is only available during the day.

This was exactly the reason why I feared going, when my lower jaw was done I also got a massive infection. And when they remove those the anesthesia doesn't work as well because of the infection. I'm just very sensitive to infections due to my other health conditions and it really sucks. Hopefully they will at least help the pain go away today.

Didn't they prescribe antibiotics to take while you heal? That should have prevented infection.
