By phoning myself I get a dental appointment

06/06/2008 by April First.

The meal with the philosophy editor of the local paper was interesting, charming and rather tasteful.  Much of the occasion was taken up with a discussion of the chapters on Christianity in Gibbons’ “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” which I found fascinating.

Arrived at school this morning to the sound of general disorder from the head’s study.   All boxes from the entrance hall have been moved – including one which contained a 14 volume encyclopaedia of spiders.

Havoc Blythe popped into the office and asked if I would like him to recommend his dentist – given as how I have commented on his teeth – which of course I haven’t save in my scribbled note at Blake’s.

For lunch we sent out for pizzas which arrived promptly, and tasted delicious although we kept being interrupted by phone calls trying to book appointments for the dentist.   After the fifth call I phoned our own number and asked myself for an appointment – mentioning the phrase “zobu sāpes” several times.  Apparently I managed to squeeze myself in, which is a relief.  

During the day a steady stream of teachers and managers appeared in the office asking of everyone and no one in particular, what was going on.   Janice told them that the head was a vampire, and was having his office changed to meet his special needs.  Several teachers believed her.
