Mid-March Resolutions



Home grown nasturtiums on the (very dirty) window sill

So, monthly resolutions are going to be my new thing. Obviously they will ordinarily occur at the beginning of the month, not over a week in. Ordinarily, I will be a super organised, ultra-diligent, enchanting blog-writer. Monthly resolutions, friends, are going to help me get there.

Institute a new Monday night curry night tradition. Make an exciting new curry each week so that Mondays quickly become a weekly highlight (so far, this has gone swimmingly)

Make an attempt to start baking bread regularly. Good, wholemeal, fibrous bread.

Buy and read My Life in France by Julia Child.

Go camping in Jervis Bay (we went last weekend!)

Plant bulbs in preparation for Spring: anemones, snow bells and some of the weirder varieties that look like exotic insects.

And Winter veggies in preparation for Winter: sugar snap peas, kale, spinach, rainbow chard, sprouting broccoli.

Scavenge for second-hand jars and start sorting out my mess of a pantry prior to the entry of our two new housemates at the end of March (task begun).

Watch Harold and Maude.

Cook some delicious autumnal things and post some delicious autumnal recipes.

Climb a mountain at least twice.

Drink pear cider in a cozy bar.

Get a haircut.

Refrain from becoming a monthly blogger. At the very least, aim to be bi-monthly.
