Autumn with its crispy leaves and falling conkers. The season of Hallowe'en and Bonfire Night. The time of year when we first light up the scented candles or when we start searching the cookbooks for hearty warm food.
So, to distract me from the early thoughts of Christmas, I turn once more to list-making. Here's a list of things I want to accomplish before December kicks in:
- Organise the pantry - the last few months have been so hectic we just dump the groceries in there and our neat system has become a hodgepodge of items wherever we find a bit of room.
- Tidy our wardrobe - another victim of lack of time and energy. Also it's time to make room for new clothes.
- Get back in that gym! (I think this one speaks for itself. Shame!)
- Learn how to make stuffed butternut squash - because yum!
- Eat less meat and more fish and veg.
- Make my own Mark scarf (if this sentence means nothing to you, go watch Rent and thank me later!)
- Start journaling - I think this will give me the focus I need to achieve more and starting it now will give an edge with next year's resolutions. And I saved the most important item for last:
- Spend as much time as possible with my better half. If all goes according to plan the first months of 2016 will be quite intense, so I want to concentrate on pampering and focusing our relationship now.
There! I feel ready to embrace the season!
