start my seedlings off earlier

Wis'd.  I don't have a greenhouse and most years forget altogether, or do it late March, so my chillies haven't ripened by the time the sunny summer days have gone.

Have set a calendar reminder for early February to buy compost.

Well I certainly won't be suggesting my wife calls another general election.

axisus

I'm gonna do everything possible to have sex with my first wife and my current wife at the same time.




They are the same person by the way.

beyond music experiments and recording, which i always want to do more of,

am going to try and get my shit together re theory behind my sciencey interests.
i've got no core theory for biology, chemistry, physics (failed them all at school because i was a serial truant). i can often get the gist and rationally link data, but not knowing the ground rules (how does an atom work?) bugs me now to the point that i am going to have to put some study in (periodic table, basic geometry, laws of physics).
so this book is in the post https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Journey-Through-Brian-Cox/dp/1846144361
and i'm going to buy a basic starter telescope and microscope so i can do some home schooling to catch up what i missed. i wasn't thick or lazy, just autism not being diagnosed until too late.

i'm also going to try to get up to the london museums. the crowds and chaos of london intimidates/overwhelms me so i generally stay away, but i need to do natural history & science museum, national gallery & npg, etc all at least once this year.

& loose weight, get fit blah blah blah. all the usual suspects. and sort out my hair, which i have given up on. i just do bed hair every day by default.

I was thinking about the question, what are you gonna do differently? -- and that's really nailed it.
I know a few changes I want to make.
But what's going to be done differently? 
[off to ponder that one...]

I want to be as frugal as possible. no new gear and cut out as much expenses as possible like lunches etc. 

then buy nice stuff afterwards.

Yeh, 12 month contract so not as though I didn’t knowing it was coming up . I guess I should have something in the bag already by now but haven’t so post Xmas I need to get cracking on job applications. I worked for Probation for 23 years so applying for stuff, interviews, etc, not really my happy place. Needs must

The Plan
Be a better person, eat healthier, enjoy life more, pay off my debts and stop being so grumpy.

The Reality
Fuck All

nice, my plan for the autumn was to turn an outbuilding into my micro brewery, but got a new client and never got round to it, will try and get it done in the new year now.

djspecialist

Mmm ... beeeer.  Next tFB jam round at @hywelg or @VimFuego's then?

Seriously, good luck with your fermentacious endeavours chaps.  I'd love to do some home brewing, but current domestic circumstance don't allow it.  Thankfully there is an excellent microbrewery a few minutes away from my house, so I pick up a flagon there instead.

So, next year ... I'm sure there are a few varieties on the menu I haven't tried yet

Next year I’m going to spend more money than I did this year, and drink more whisky. I’ve already started practising.

As far as plans go I’m considering buying a wood lathe. Hopefully I can do this without having to build a bigger workshop. It’s also time I made a couple of guitar necks, mainly to find out how differences in dimensions and materials affect playability and sound.
