I woke up in sunshine after a fairly good night's sleep. I was light headed and clear when I woke up, but became even more light headed after taking my morning meds. My goatee beard needed trimming, but my thirty year old electric hair trimmer with beard attachments turned out to be no longer up to the job after I dropped it a while back. I used the trimming blade on the back of my electric razor. This too was rather hit and miss. I think I need a new trimmer more suitable for the job. A birthday present maybe?
We had our usual Saturday breakfast of pancakes with the unusual addition of pureed strawberries. very pleasant indeed. I didn't feel like going out with such a light head, and worked instead for most of the morning on a reflection for Morning Prayer about the Visitation of Mary and Elizabeth.
Clare cooked lunch, then went to town to have an ear wax removal treatment. I walked for an hour in Llandaff Fields, before tea and the sky began to fill with clouds but it didn't rain.
I spent some time going through paper files in my study, in search of paper drafts of Reggie Rabbit stories. The ones I found were digitized in 2010 the one I needed had no paper draft, just digital version of page of sketchy notes being worked upon. I found a series of travel notebooks: Greece, Jamaica, Mongolia, Syria and Jerusalem. Greece is already transcribed into a digital file, the first I did after retirement. The rest need doing. Another writing project from times before I started post retirement blogging.
After supper I started reconstructing from notes taken the fourth of the Reggie Rabbit stories. Not easy as I don't recall what I had in mind when I first made them up.
Early bed tonight as the clocks go forward.
