Catching up – Days Ten plus Twelve, Thirteen

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.
