list (revisited)

I remembered today that I had set myself a challenge back in early September to achieve a certain number of things before the end of the year. Now we’re suddenly approaching the end of October (and almost halfway through my allotted time) I thought I’d look at it again and update you on my progress:
Have a holiday abroad. Still undone. Still unbooked.
Do a 50-mile-in-one-day cycle ride. Unlikely……
Shave my head. Not done. Not planning to be done.
Read a Harry Potter book. Most likely to occur, but not yet started.
Spend a weekend in London with Philippa. Still hopeful….
Not going so well, then. Mind you, I have committed to Movember and agreed to play the drums for Hannah, so my list has gone to shit but I will be growing a moustache and taking part in a Christmas show. So the rest of the year won’t be wasted.
While we’re discussing the passing of time, can I just share this scary quote with you, from one of my staff members (a lady with two children):
“Can you believe it’s half-term? That past seven weeks has just pissed by. And you know what this means? In another seven weeks they’ll be breaking up for Christmas…..”
