Things to do this holiday

I have now got three weeks stretching out before me, all termable 'vacation'. There are also many things which I wish to do during these weeks. Some I will do, some I will do in part, while there are sure to be some which I do not do.

Here are some of the things which I will try to do...

1. Complete my programming assignment before the end of the time allowed.
2. Read through my notes and the lecture slides for my modules which will be examined.
3. Set up a website which I can publicise to offer prints of my best photos and paintings for sale.
4. Produce three or more new paintings.
5. Take some good photos with my new (to me) second-hand old film camera.
6. Write a post on this blog once a week or more.
7. Write a post on this blog entitled "Seventeen Things Which My Portable Telephone Device Does Not Do".
8. Write up an illustrated account of our epic cycle ride of six months ago.
9. Sleep a reasonable amount.
10. Unicycle an excessive amount, preferably 100 miles per week.
11. Achieve the '100 miles in 10 hours on 1 wheel' unicycle challenge.
12. Meet some of my school friends which I have not seen since 6th Form.
13. Buy some shoes which do not make my feet wetter than the ground on which they walk.
14. Perform as a drummer in a rock band in a distant town.
15. Appreciate the meaning of life more than previously.
16. Write lyrics for a song.
17. Write a letter to the one I love, using a dipping ink pen and sealed with red sealing wax.
18. Watch an entire episode of the beautiful BBC's Planet Earth program.
19. Spend less of my time thinking about 'things I will do some day when I have time', and do them.

Nineteen things. That should keep me busy for a bit.

Now, as it's sunny and bright outside, I am going to start on number five, progressively nineteen, and possibly fifteen.
