20 for 2020: week 2
Week two: Week of 6 January Welcome to week two of 20 for 2020. This is the first full week for the year and I’m lucky I still have some time before my uni course starts to concentrate of some of the other tasks, some of which I think...
Bicycle days
On Monday morning I left home at 6.45 to ride to work, which is number 10 on my 20 for 2020 list. Some background. When I moved to Canberra and started my first job (last century), encouraged by one of my bike-rider colleagues, I bought a bike and started...
20 for 2020: week 1
Week of 30 December Week one of 20 for 2020 was only five days, but I’ll count it as a week. I haven’t made a page for the list yet, but here’s a link to the first post where I outlined the 20 (or 22) things I want to...
20 for 2020
20 for 2020 is a continuation of 19 for 2019, which is an idea I stole from Gretchen Rubin and Elizabeth Craft’s podcast Happier (here’s the link to how Gretchen and Liz did on their 19 for 2019 lists). I think they actually started it with 18 for 2018. I’m...
19 for 2019: a review
It’s coming up to the end of the year so it’s a good time to reflect on my 19 for 2019 list: what went well and what I didn’t quite do. I haven’t posted for a while because there hasn’t been much to say now. Every week since week...
19 for 2019: week 32 update
Week of 5 August 2019 I’m finding as I make my way through my list of 19 things I want to complete, there are fewer opportunities to make a lot of progress now that I only have five incomplete things. This week, I contacted the sewing machine repair people...
Weekend wisdom 8
A weekly review of things that came through my inbox that I found interesting and want to remember. This week, I stumbled on Dr Sarah McKay, a neuroscientist who studies women’s brains. She’s also an author and presents the ABC’s Catalyst program. On her blog Your Brain Health, Sarah...
19 for 2019: week 31 update
Week of 29 July 2019 I’ve not made a lot of progress on my five remaining 19 for 2019 things. I really should contact the sewing machine repair person (thing 10), especially as Kramstable says he’s enjoying his textile work at school that he’s started this term. With my...
19 for 2019: week 30 update
Week of 22 July I don’t have a lot to update from week 30. I finished the 31-day photo course (in eight months . . .) last week and I guess that felt like such a big achievement and now I’m feeling a bit lost. Of the five uncompleted...
Weekend wisdom 6
A weekly review of things that came through my inbox that I found interesting and want to remember. This week, I found myself annoyed at someone about something they did, or rather, something they didn’t do. The thing about this was that the person would have had no idea that...
