Things that I need to do this year
- Teach myself SQL properly. I got half way through this last year, then I got distracted by shiny things and wandered off after a pigeon. But I strongly suspect that learning the ERP system I’m working with at the minute would be LOADS easier if my SQL was better.
- Learn to make Roman blinds. We’ll come back to this one later on.
- Finally get the tires changed on my bike so I can cycle to work when the weather gets better.
- Find a hedgehog water bottle that doesn’t leak.
- Finish the bathroom. I need to repaint, change the light fitting, put up some pictures, touch up the sealant in the shower and put up a blind. You see where the learning to make blinds comes in?
- Joing the WI. Yes really. The tolerant housemate has already been enlisted for this venture.
- Finish the kitchen. I need to finish a tiny little bit of tiling, make blinds (yes again) and also bribe my baby sister to make me a door curtain, fix the door between the kitchen and living room, put up some shelves for recipe books and think about some art. I probably need to replace the fridge as well, but I am trying to ignore that at the minute.
- Go on holiday. I didn’t get a proper holiday last year. This year I am planning to spend some time in a gite in the Loire with my sister and the shiny new nephew before wandering down to Barcelona to see my favourite bald Frenchman and hang out on the beach for a week.
- Buy some diamond earrings. I’ve always wanted some.
Did I mention I got given a pet hedgehog for Christmas?
Technically she’s an African Pygmy Hedgehog and she’s very sweet, although a little bit stressful while I get into the swing of looking after something other than myself again. And then there’s the feeding her live mealworms thing.
