Share your plans for 2023

[Mrs Pingu]

I got all but 2 of last year's done. One of which was deemed no longer required and the other no funds.

This year's list is a bit shorter:

• Make some cushion covers out of poncy fabric to go with the new sofa cover. Been >30y since I used a sewing machine so hopefully my brother will help.
• Take the 2nd stair rail off, strip the shitty paint off and varnish it. Try to remember all the lessons learned from doing the first one
• Get the kitchen door replaced with a glazed one to let more light into the hall (GAMI). Strip the paint back on the door surround and redo.
• Repeatedly annoy Home Energy Scotland in the vain hope that eventually they'll give me some money back for the insulation I paid for 6 months ago (I'm not holding my breath) 
• Get a quote to replace the crap electric shower and bath with a decent mains shower and cabinet (subject to my employer seeing fit to dish out a bonus, if not learn some plumbing and install a bath shower mixer)
• Buy a blackthorn and plant it among the leylandii roots.
• Plant the fuji cherries. Plant some creeping thyme in the front chuckies as ground cover.
• Plant lots more beastie friendly plants, hopefully find some that don't get scoffed by the molluscs.
• Paint some more of the fence.
• Insulate the kitchen cupboard (I was going to do that over the xmas hols but the courier has never delivered the materials).
• Stoke the kitties
• Maybe even ride my bike

Kittehs onna tandem - what could possibly go wrong?

I'd quite like to retire.
I was thinking about it two years ago, but there seemed little point when I would still be stuck in the house, probably at the same desk staring at a computer, only not being paid for it.

Well, that didn't happen. Maybe this year!

[barakta]

Get this leg actually working (may not happen in 23 either due to waiting lists, femur healing time, timescales etc).
Avoid the sodding Covid-19 viruses.
Improve capacity to do my voluntary work of access to justice and equity for disabled people.

[Beardy]

What, and let <deity> have a laugh!

[Pickled Onion]

Well, that didn't happen. Maybe this year!

I'm a little nervous about posting to this thread as last year's plan included a grand tour of Europe requiring access from Finland through Russia to Georgia and that didn't last long! Following that I cocked up a plan to go to Iceland by not realising that accommodation is not a given there and most people take a tent.

Anyway, I'm not superstitious so here goes:

• Tunisia (already booked)
• Scandinavia (when the weather permits) expensive so might be quite short
• Iceland (this is def. bucket list, I haz tent now)
• Ireland - it's so close and looks amazing, why have I never been there??
• Hungary - I've been to Budapest but never cycled in the country
• Go and see Leléka play live, they've not been able to gig since just after I discovered them then covid happened

[Polar Bear]

Go camping a few times, or even many times ...

Finish insulating the dining room.

Restart my running after 7 months off.

Get going with at least one of the two photography projects bouncing around my head.

[fd3]

* A level Further Maths self-study (continuing from what I started least summer).  FP3. M5-6, NA, NC, DC and all of Stats to go.
* Apply for a couple of jobs and decide whether I want them later
* Do a longer ride this year (above the commute/utility level).

I should add something kid related in, but that's more reactive than planned. (though I did sort music lessons, boardgames and 11+ workbooks).  Maybe become an awesome autistic dad.
