Because it’s Easter Sunday today I decided I would put on some proper clothes and give the joggies and pyjamas a day off. After getting dressed, day 21 of lockdown for us started with an Easter egg for breakfast for the whole family. You might be surprised to hear that from a family of dentists… Continue reading Happy Easter 🐣 →

I’ve been writing this blog for almost a year and a half now once a week on a Sunday. I think last week though was the first time I’ve ever forgotten about it. Is it just me or do all the days seem to be the same under lockdown? I’m sure it was Tuesday before… Continue reading The lowdown on lockdown →

A big Happy Mothers day to all the amazing mums out there today! My own mum is thankfully safely isolating/social distancing at the moment and there are worse places to do so than her beach front caravan in County Down. Would love to be there but glad she is well and Facetime does the trick… Continue reading Happy Mother's Day →

Firstly, with everything going on just now; I would like to clarify that until any further changes from a government level, we are still open and operating as normal for our patients. All dental practices have very strict infection control procedures including disinfection of all surfaces between patients, using mostly single use equipment which is… Continue reading Coronavirus- TWDC practice update →

Baby Ronan arrived on Monday in the early hours safe and sound and mum is doing great too. Our dog Fergie and I were previously outnumbered with all the girls but thankfully now Ronan has evened the teams up! If we ever get a family game of football boys v girls I’d say the boys… Continue reading It’s a Boy! →

I finished up work yesterday for the next couple of weeks of paternity leave so hoping we’ve timed it right and our 3rd baby arrives this weekend! It was a busy last week with a bit of a delay in the new premises build, 1: due to the weather with storm season firmly upon us… Continue reading The final countdown.. →

I’m a bit tired this morning as I set my alarm to get up at 4.45am for the Fury v Wilder boxing fight last night. Glad I did in the end though, so much respect for Tyson Fury for overcoming the serious mental health and weight issues to get to the very top of world… Continue reading Going viral.. →

This valentines day we gave away a prize for a stay at the old course hotel in St Andrews and after our live facebook draw on Friday the lucky winner was Emmy Ems.

Went out to check how the builders were getting on at our new premises today and as promised previously theres a sneak peak at our new signage: Have a good week everyone, Joe

Currently en route back to Glasgow on the train from a trip to Manchester to see the (not so) mighty Reds: Went with my dad and two friends Jamie and Rory. The match itself was terrible, a boring 0-0, no shots affair. We made up for that with some shots of our own later on… Continue reading You know the drill.. →

Off to the Fairmont Hotel in St Andrews today courtesy of Raashi’s mum Manju as a birthday present for me. We’ve been before and the best thing has to be the breakfast which I absolutely cannot wait for. I never really eat any breakfast at home but we’re at a hotel like this maybe twice… Continue reading Stocking up on breakfast →

So yesterday was my birthday and i’m now the ripe old age of 32. I celebrated the 30th and before that a good effort was put in for the 21st but I think my next big one is 40. In between 30 and 40 they’re all the same really. I’d say caterpillar cakes are in… Continue reading Birthday Celebrations →

Now that we’re back to a normal week it’s nice to actually know what day it is again. Our new years resolutions are going strong 1 week in. One of them is obviously the healthy eating thing that we’re all no doubt doing. Excluding our Chinese last night everything else for the week was good… Continue reading Lazy Sunday →

Had such a nice Christmas back home in Ireland with family this year. It was the first year our daughter Mila really understood about Santa too so that was nice playing the same old tricks that my parents played on me many years ago. (Half eaten cookies and crumbs as undeniable proof Santa had in… Continue reading New Year New Start! →

Feeling slightly rough today after an annual Christmas jumper pub crawl yesterday with some friends. We ended up at the Corinthian with our own private karaoke room – some truly awful performances were put in. American pie or teenage dirtbag are my two favourite karaoke tunes. I remember once singing teenage dirtbag while on holiday… Continue reading Christmas Time 🎄 →

Busy christmassy week just passed starting with a visit to Elfingrove on Tuesday. The lights and fake snow outside made for great photos but the rest of it was maybe a bit weird. One of the first stops was to meet Rudolph which our daughter Mila was buzzing about. She burst into tears when he… Continue reading Getting into the Christmas spirit…. →

I was off on Monday this week so it was nice to take the kids to see Santa at Dobbies garden centre in Milngavie. Last year we took our eldest on her own and she absolutely cried her eyes out. I think having some muscle with her in the form of her 10 month old… Continue reading Bananas 🍌 →

Had quite a busy week just passed starting with the new Frozen 2 last weekend. It’s actually really good – I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! It dawned on me when at one point our youngest daughter Sienna was starting to cry a bit and Raashi asked if I wanted to take… Continue reading Zurich🍕 🍕 🍕 →

So you may have noticed on our social media pages yesterday that we won at the UK dental awards on Friday night! Absolutely buzzing about it. We won Best Team and Best Practice in Scotland, then picked up the overall trophy for Best Team UK and Best Practice UK! 🐝 To make the shortlist for… Continue reading #1 IN THE UK!! →

Today our eldest daughter Mila turns 3. Amazing how fast thats gone in! We got her a little bike which we didn’t know had to be built on delivery. So last night I was up trying to sort that out and I only found the instruction sheet when I was already ‘finished’. In typical male… Continue reading The brakes are off.. →
