A happy (if belated) new year to you all! So how did I do on the goals for last year?
- Hand over the FFL: Done, although no sight of it since.
- Finish decorating the lounge: Not done but then I seriously underestimated the kitchen…
- Redecorate at least one of the “difficultâ€? rooms in our house: The major work in the kitchen and dining room is done but as ever it’s the finishing that’s proving time consuming and difficult.
- Sort out the remaining bits of exterior paintwork on the house: Done, although I copped out and paid someone to do it.
- Tame the last wildly overgrown border in our back garden: Done.
- Sort out the small rust patches on my car before they get any worse: Nope.
- Blog more: My db-fu tells me I posted 65 times in 2005 and 103 times in 2006.
- Persuade at least one of my friends or family to start blogging: I think I can claim at least partial responsibility for both the Tims starting. Result!
- Invent The Best MMPORPG In The World Ever. Eh?
- Teach Ben to throw and catch: Now this is a classic living-through-your-children item. I throw like a girl and I want to spare Ben that embarrassment. What I didn’t realise is that Ben has to be physically and mentally capable of throwing and catching first. He’s certainly got better over the year. Perhaps the goal should have been “learn to throw”.
- Make moves in the right direction towards becoming carbon neutral: This deserves a whole post but basically I doubt I budged an inch.
- Go running more often: Well I ran a bit, perhaps more than the previous year but I certainly didn’t hit my goals.
That’s about 50-50 in my book. It’s interesting to see how some of my priorities have changed in just 12 months.
