Happy First Birthday to Barney Our Dog

Tomorrow is the first birthday of Barney our dog. We had a little party for him yesterday.

Using an iPad as a presentation tool in the Dental Surgery

We often now have to present treatment plans and treatment options to patients as part of our everyday clinical lives.


Having seen and now handled an iPad and doing some research. What about using the iPad as a presentational tool? It is capable of running Keynote, Apple's version of Powerpoint, and as is often said, a picture can paint a thousand words!


What do you think?

What other dental uses are there for this year's must have gadget?

A great day, a great course, a stunning venue.

Today was a day away from the practice. I wasn't being lazy, I was away on a course, learning about "Smile design-with a less invasive approach." The course was held at the Watergate Bay Hotel, near Newquay, an absolutely amazing and stunning venue. Our lecture room had huge panoramic windows overlooking Watergate Bay. During our coffee breaks we could admire the stuning scenery, I almost wished that we were doing a surfing course instead.


Here is the view from the hotel.

The Course was great, the speaker was engaging and interesting, we learnt lots of interseting information on restoring smiles. Discussions of the various treatment options was given and the course was presented in an interesting and exciting way. 

Having spent the day at Watergate Bay. I'd love to return and visit for a short holiday, we can even take the dog too!!

Isn't there some big event going on in South Africa?

So week one of the world cup has finished. So what has been my feelings on it so far. Realistically England have been poor, they really need to turn things round with a big win on Wednesday, however with their performances so far I don't think this will happen, it seems England are scared by the prospect of failure in the big event. Best teams I have seen so far have been South American, Mexico and Uraguay, and from Europe, Holland.


Just a quick note as an aside, even though I'm Welsh, I don't want to see England fail. Let's hope something changes on Wednesday afternoon.

This was Green Point Stadium in Cape Town when we were there on honeymoon two years ago, amazing what was built in that time!

Just look at our puppy Barney

I had the chance to get some new photographs of Barney over the weekend. What do you think?

A glorious afternoon at Exminster Golf Centre

I spent this afternoon playing golf at Exminster Golf Centre. The weather in Exeter today has been glorious, sunny, reasonably warm with a gentle breeze blowing. I played reasonably well, the wheels came off a little on the last couple of holes, but I still enjoyed myself.


Thought I would post a couple of photographs taken showing the glorious views from adjacent to the 8th green.
