To Do List

Just two weeks before Lovely Girlfriend is back and a: I will eat vegetables again, rather than oven chips and whatever happens to be lurking in the freezer and, b: this blog will return to it's intermittent near dormant level. There are of course many other very good things to look forward to, but as far as the public domain is concerned just these two will do.

My new strategy for coping is to plan to do as many things as possible in the next two weeks, thus ensuring that even without my natural tendency to lethargy, I will not have enough to time to do it all, and that by this time next week, I'll be moaning about this, rather than the fact I am missing Lovely Girlfriend.

Here is my list of things to do, so far:

1. Catch up with old mates
2. Fix the vacuum
3. Defrost the freezer
4. Clean the oven
5. Fix the toilet cistern
6. Visit parents and extract dinner from them (though this may involve vegetables. Which may spoil things.)
7. Copy old bootlegged tapes onto CD
8. Copy what vinyl records I have and have not "upgraded" to CD onto CD
9. Weed the garden, and get rid of dead remains of last years bedding plants
10. Clean pond filter system (stupid fish are starting to thing spring has arrived...)
11. Write new material for website
12. Simulate and photograph crash landing of alien spacecraft in Welsh mountains for website
13. Discover new species of pigeon
14. Learn Latin
15. Attempt to cook something that doesn't come out of a packet
16. Single handedly sail around the British Isles on an inflatable matress
17. Design and commence construction of space rocket
18. Go into work with positive attitude
19. Create world's largest topiary ostrich
20. Invent solution to global warming.

So not a lot, really, but it should keep me busy...
