I went to the dentist yesterday and she did some work on my two upper front teeth. This involved two local injections up the top of the gum, which is about level with your nostrils. So when they put in the injections, it feels like they're pushing the needle into your nose.
It was rather unpleasant but I'm sure the drill would have hurt far more.
I've joined a community scheme at Te Whare Roimata that helps kids with their homework while their parents attend English as a second language classes. Mostly the kids are Somali, so they've often been through quite a lot in their short lives. Very active and a lot of work (I was with the 4 - 7 year old boys) but it was rewarding too - counting games, math sheets, reading and writing stories, colouring in. It's once a week on Thursday night for two hours during term time, which is quite a long time to keep kids doing educational things, considering they had to spend all day at school.
aweesome! what a cool thing to do :)
