Plan for short walk to Milfontes changes this morning as message arrives from dentist requesting attendance today for new impression of the disaster zone that is the mouth of your blogger ... and since Almograve appears to be bus free today, local service having been observed in the near distance a few minutes too late, a hopeful walk towards Odemira seems the best solution and is rewarded by a ride from Vasco, taking two of his children to school, before visiting his wife and brand new daughter at the hospital ... meaning a 9.20 bus to Odeceixe and swift transfer to Lagos bus makes the job possible ... mind settled on walking pace after past few days moves up a gear and opens new options for the next week before final fitting and another Camino ...
At Lagos a "rapido" bus to Faro tempts, research not having been done ... avoiding motorway until after Albufeira suggests "semi-rapido" might be a more accurate description ... still we arrive in time for a swift transfer to the train for the last leg, snack lunch having been taken at Lagos ... home to the Pousada de Juventude before four ... at the dentist Joaquim is between appointments, takes the necessary impressions and is done in ten minutes ...
Dental folk talk of "bite" being important and experts suggest new top implants and associated teeth require better teeth underneath, to achieve optimal performance ... meaning more implants or new denture there, neither desired since biting days are gone and cosmetic bridging of mouth at the front without mobile dentures the only requirement ... to be honest, it's vanity and the consequences are accepted with equanimity ... the few years of freedom from such attachments, including house, car, books, clothes, sacrificed for comfort, security .... and vanity ...
