Lots on – work piling up ...
Friday (Day Ten plus Twelve):
Re-visited dentist to have new filling adjusted so weight is evenly distributed. Very pleased with result – it was awful to have a wide gap between molars in which "half a chicken and half a broccoli" would get caught...
What emotional pangs did I notice yesterday?
None that I recall. I was on a roll...
What went well yesterday?
No procrastination re getting a spontaneous appointment with the dentist to tweak the new filling put in the day before.
Good walks into town and back – in all kinds of weather. The Bay never ceases to delight me.
Excellent Gaelic one-to-one session with my private tutor.
How can I make it happen more regularly?
Keep practicing, keep walking.
What strengths did I focus on yesterday?
None in particular. Not very focused, really, at least not consciously so.
At what point did I feel most authentically myself?
Getting stuck into Gaelic work; walking; exchanging views and opinions about language, politics, the weather –
Saturday (Day Ten plus Thirteen):
Good day away with Oban Gaelic Choir, with decent results in a singing competition. More importantly, the choir really felt good, energetic, focused, happy – a great feeling.
On way home, my passenger and I stopped off at a couple of places I had long been meaning to visit – friends who live outside Oban. One of them a wonderful horsewoman, the other a couple who have a fantastic garden and miniature railway. Very satisfying.
Emotional pangs?
None. I feel great. Singing's good for us!
What went well?
See above. Plus I have just shipped off another small translation so I can focus on new jobs and intensive distance-learning Gaelic course when I get back from Glasgow tomorrow.
Strengths?
Ability to rekindle friendships? Being a safe driver, especially when I have passengers.
At what point did I feel most authentically myself?
When singing and chatting with friends. And when doing urgent work.
