Nope, but certainly toothless in Suva. A touch of the old toothache this morning and an exploratory tongue (mine, before anybody asks) disclosed a wobbly wisdom tooth. A quick taxi down to the dentist near the MHCC, a prick in the mouth (make of that what you will) and after the loose flabby lip under the stiff upper one had gone numb, out it came. So the question is, can a person be wise with no wisdom teeth?
Staining has now been completed in the bridge deck area and the sanding of the staining is 95% complete. Varnishing starts in earnest tomorrow except it has been suggested that oxalic acid might remove the remaining stains. I might have one quick go at finding some, then a varnishing we will go. Stains can always be removed later and the aim is to get 'das boot' liveable as quickly as possible.

Now with a third coat! Might try the oxalic acid if I can get any.
