I thought I would do a little round up on the progress of “the list”…
- Could I squeeze in a Melbourne visit via the Great Ocean Road in August? Here’s hoping, but only if I get to drive this car…even if I hire it and pretend it’s mine for the weekend…
- I cracked the lid on my last lot of apricot jam this morning so I’m down to 1 jar, better get cooking!
- Haven’t got to pastry making or soufflés yet, might have a go in a few weeks.
- Ditto guitar playing. My guitar is still covered in dust, but I did get some new guitar tabs for inspiration.
- City to Surf looks like it could happen, I’ve just started getting back into jogging now my leg is feeling better, which took way longer than I thought to heal. Who’s gonna do this fun run with me?
- I’m aiming for some Christmasy markets, lordy know there won’t be time before then!
- My cookbooks have been seriously neglected as most nights I just eat dip and crackers. I’ve barely cooked a thing for weeks apart from the odd cake or batch of brownies. Last weekend’s brownies were the worst ever cause I overcooked them by 10 mins and burnt the edges, but still edible.
- Softies for Mirabel is later in the year nearer Christmas
- I haven’t read anything apart from study notes and Frankie magazines. I’m 40 pages into my latest book “The Lacuna” by Barbara Kingsolver and so far it’s great but I haven’t read a page since Feb.
- I’m still baffled by zips, I need a lesson, volunteers welcome!
- Birthday season is around the corner, bring on the handmade.
- And apart from a few isolated moments that I’ll own up to, I have been on time for everything so far, unless my family dob me in for more :)
- Being assertive, I have to be every week in printing class just to get table space. It’s quite fun really.
- Hopefully my foody work experience will happen in June, sssh! Watch this space!
