I’ve not updated this blog for a while again, but looking through my list, I’ve done a lot more than I thought I had, and I’m pleased with myself. I’ve done a couple of things that I had already started, like walking etc, so I have updated those on my list.
The ones I’ve started, or have completed include:
#48 – sort out paperwork and filing system. Yes! It’s not quite a filing cabinet, but all the paperwork has been put away in folders, and they are tidy in a box, and much more easily accessible than it was before. Here is a picture…
There are two boxes, one stacked on top of the other. I think it’s the accountant in me that is reluctant to throw much of our paperwork away!
I’ve also made a start on #20 Succeed at growing herbs for the kitchen. I’ve planted them in a trough that I’m keeping inside for now, as it’s still quite frosty in the mornings, but they are growing at an absolutely mental rate! I’ve probably put too many seeds in, so I am going to have to thin them out soon. Lesson learnt, but I’m over the moon that they are growing so well! Here is a picture of when I first sowed them, and what they look like at the moment.
To start #22, I baked cheese scones last week, though I didn’t take a picture of them. My next baking effort, I’ll take a picture. I’ll blame it on the fact that they were so yummy they went like hot scones! Heh.
I have also made a start on #66, read 10 books. I’ve always been an avid reader, but the last couple of years or so I’ve not seemed to have been able to find the time. A friend of mine lent me Lovely Bones. I didn’t think it would be my thing, but I ended up really enjoying it, and I went to the cinema to see it there. The film was very different from the book, but I took my mum with me as she told me she’d not been to the cinema since Fatal Attraction was out! That was late 1980s! My mum is deaf like me, and has never really enjoyed going to the cinema, but the showing we went to see was subtitled. I think she won’t be leaving it another 20 years to go again! Here’s a picture of the book I’ve read.
I really need to sort out an SD card for the D40 that has been lent to me by a friend, as the quality of photos from the iPhone when it’s not broad daylight is not good. So I’m going to do that tonight! I’m enjoying taking the pictures to record my progress, so it’ll be nice to do it with a better camera.
Until next time!
