the excitedness level has been raised to: Amber
Amber excitedness characteristics:
- unpredictable outbreaks of persistent smiling.
- mugs of undrunk tea appearing around the house because I’ve forgotten that I have already made myself a cup of tea.
- frequent brief outbursts of hyper-inactivity. Sitting-still to enjoy thinking about whatever I’m getting excited about.
- increased incidences of burbling.
Why now?
This year I’ll be sailing to half a dozen or so Islands in Greece with 7 strangers and a friend for 10 days on a 50ft yaught. The trip bochure tells me that Hemingway ‘Would have’ turned up at the Island of Sifnos, that we can visit the Kitron Brewery on Naxos. All over the Islands we can admire ancient architecture, visit Churches, Temples and many many Tavernas. Snorkling, dolphins and beaches are also mentioned.
OooOoOOooOoOoOOoOoHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh
the Ray Bans are out!
2 inspirational musings on the excitedness level has been raised to: Amber

Only amber? from a cloudy, rainy, and cold Seattle, I’d raise it to “jumping up and down with excitement”
Do be alert to the sort of pastry on offer, particularly if there is a pug-dog in the vicinity. Read my latest messages for Mrs Belle Caruna’s advice concerning the Greek islands. Cordially yours as ever.
