I’m not one for making new years resolutions. I’ve always figured if I wanted to change anything, I’d just do it. However, having spent the last few months in the company of poorly people, I have decided henceforth to change my ways.
In order to maximise the (possibly) few years I have remaining it behooves me to live each moment as if it were my last. (Not so much a bucket list; more just the bucket.) And, in order to do this, I intend to do a few things that I’ve been meaning to get around to. And I’m going to try and do them in 2011.
In no particular order, they are:
- Take horse riding lessons
- Write a book and get it published
- Get my new career started
- Keep in contact with Joanne
- Fix up our house, ready for whatever future we wind up in
- See more Italy, opera, musical comedy, strange performance art, etc
- Go on a dig
I’m sure there’s more but this will do for a start. Hopefully, this time next year, I will have crossed all of these off and started in a new bucket.

I forgot to mention that yesterday, dad managed to not just come out in the car with us but also walked into a shopping centre! He sat and waited as mum and I wandered around. It was a great step to take. Well done, dad. I know it wasn’t easy.
On the down side, he took a slight tumble while trying to extract a piece of wayward glass from his foot. All is well but it did shake him up a bit.

In order to complete my attempted circumnavigation of Kawana Island, I set off in the opposite direction today. It was further than yesterday but eventually I hit the Mooloolabah River. I have now walked as far by land around this Island as it is possible. I did not see Robinson Crusoe, anyone named after a day of the week or coconuts. I did, however, sweat an awful lot.
