PERSONAL: Resolutions
Jan. 2nd, 2013 09:40 pmI’ve never been one for making resolutions. But, over the past few years, I have made two low key ones, which I haven't been particularly great at keeping. Here are the 2013 versions.
1. I will take my list of the Chalet School books I have yet to own with me whenever I go shopping, because last week I saw a copy of Shocks for the Chalet School, but didn’t remember that I didn’t have it. I couldn’t justify the time or expense to go back to that shop in that city some other time. Sticking to this should help me with my real resolution, which is to get the full set of CS books (and, one day, without breaking the bank, the unabridged set).
2. I will go to the theatre more often to see plays, musicals and/or dance shows. The sum total for last year was dismal, and every time I went, I enjoyed myself and thought ‘I must do this again’. Granted, that was because I went to see things I really, really wanted to see, but I could look at what’s coming up locally a little more assiduously.
This post is looking forward, the next will look back and be an overview of what I read over the Christmas holidays.
