This week it is about resolutions and hopes for 2021 and I have a few. Some of them conflict with others which makes life tricky as there is limited time in every day!
1) Classic Coronation Street
I'm trying to watch and review old episodes of Coronation Street. I've done April 1976 to March 1993 so far, but I need to get 1993-2021 watched, so it's a long term project! I won't come close to finishing it but I want to make a dent in it this year.
2) Film Catchup
I have a ton of films that I bought because I liked the sound of them, usually in HMV as part of their 5 for £20 or cheap horror I picked up on Amazon. Either way I have too many and I need to plough through and get rid of the ones I didn't like or don't want.
3) TV Series Catchup
I have a ton of dvd box sets I grabbed cheap from Homeland to Scandal and Supernatural to Grimm. I also have a ton of stuff taped off the TV over the last ten years that I still haven't got round to looking at. I need to make a hole in the pile.
4) Documentary/Reality Catchup
I follow a lot of stuff like Masterchef from around the world, Top Chef, Deadliest Catch, Gold Rush, Bake Off plus lots of political, royal and disaster documentaries. I need to put a dent in watching some of the stuff and getting caught up on continuing series.
5) Getting Two Doses of Covid 19 vaccine before I catch it
Our government seems to think that being half protected from the virus with just one dose is good for us with underlying health issues. I don't, so I'll be in lockdown and not leaving my garden until I get two doses of it. If I'm lucky, it might happen by September.
6) Tackling The TBR
I of course want to reduce the number of books I have on the TBR and clear space on my bookshelves. How I'm meant to find all the time to read and watch all the stuff I've mentioned is anyone's guess!
7) Get Exercise
I did lose a bit of weight at the start of lockdown with the stress of it but put it back on through junk food. Now I really need to get an exercise regime going in the house and finally get back to using my Wii at least a few times a week.
8) Charity shops and rubbish dumps open as normal
Getting things watched, clearing up my house...it's all well and good but my area has been mostly locked down for five months so all charity shops are closed and I can't donate my unwanted stuff. There is reduced opening on the rubbish dump, limits on what you can ditch there and in your house bins...it makes it difficult to get the house in order.
9) News Scrapbooks
The last things I put in my scrapbook was from 2013 so I'm way behind in updating my cuttings. I have bags of cuttings from 2013-2020 waiting to be dealt with and I MUST get cracking on getting a few years dealt with!
10) The Winds Of Winter
Each month that goes by has me losing hope of ever seeing the final book in the ASOI&F series but I'm still *hoping* to get The Winds of Winter this year. I simply can't wait to read it after the great read that the last book was!
