Is this where babies come from?

I had an emergency dentist appointment yesterday. My gum and tooth had been hurting for a while, and, although the pain has lessened, it felt sensible to check before we go to Iceland.

It's in the area where I'm due to have a filling so I thought they might do that but she just checked to make sure there wasn't any infection and them put some sludge that looked like sticky brown tar on my tooth. It tasted vile - to be fair she did warn me. In fact, tar might have tasted better.

Anyway, we'll see how it goes. I was impressed: I phoned in the morning and got an immediate appointment.

Remember - you probably don't and I don't blame you - that I was given a lone cabbage plant last summer? It was very eaten by snails, but I checked up on it on Sunday and it's still surviving. It's even producing babies.

Is this where sprouts come from? 

That 'head' is about 1" across.

Bad weather means no roofers again. What do roofers do when they can't roof? It must be a very weather-dependent job.
