My wonderful girlfriend and I have a lot on during the spring and summer of 2013, and I thought I would tell you about some of it.
Apartment / Flat renovations
This could be the last year living in the flat my wonderful girlfriend and I brought six years ago. After living in flats for ten years, we are looking forward to moving into a house. We are undecided about whether to sell or rent the property, which will be influenced by the state of the UK housing market, when it becomes time to decide.
Lots of DIY in the months ahead, but we are also going to replace some appliances, such as the fridge freezer (new one has been ordered), and the cooker.
We recently replaced our lounge curtains. Last year we replaced the bathroom and kitchen taps, bedroom curtains, brought a new bed and welcomed a comfy sofa. Plus we gave a lot of items away to charity, such as furniture, books, comics and many other items. So even if we don’t move out this year, we are continuing to make our home more spacious and comfortable to live in.
Enjoy the island
I live on a wonderful island, but the cold weather has not encouraged us to go out and enjoy it that much as of late. I recently brought a new lens for one of my cameras, and I am keen to start using it.
The open top buses should now be running, and I’m looking forward to riding on those again, taking in the stunning scenery and exploring more of the island, and revisiting favourite locations.
Plus there will be plenty of great events this summer to enjoy on the island, not forgetting that we live near some wonderful beaches.
Weight loss
It is no secret that I’m currently too heavy, and my health isn’t good either at the moment. I’ve already been tackling the weight loss via various means, but in a sensible manner. Two or three stone being lost by the end of summer would be welcomed.
Cooking
We’ve not made bread or homemade soup for a while, amongst many other wonderful dishes. We don’t buy takeaways, but it is time to do some more time consuming home cooking again.
Conclusion
You can expect plenty of blog posts on all the above, and other topics along the way.
