Impossible List - 15 February

Professional

So I've all but stopped on the automated business to try and work on a project that has been hanging around for a bit in my mind. I'll come back, I just need a little bit of some new scenery code wise for the next month or so.

Health / Fitness

Still the same weight, and still no gym, but have started a monthly climb a mountain to take photos. Again this month will be a hill, I've made one attempt and got about 300 meters from the summit, so I'll need to go back. I'm contemplating running in the mornings.

Personal Skills

I'm still meandering along with my book. I've got some major flaws that I'm noticing, but instead of getting stuck I'm writing down editing notes for each chapter as I work through them and cleaning up the chapter into a presentable piece of work. The current plan is that when I've completed 10 chapters I'll have a week or two and go back through the work to make the flow through it work. That will push back my finished work until the end of the year, but if I'm lucky perhaps I'll be able to send the manuscript out as a Christmas present to a few readers.

I moved up to 59 photos on Flickr. With the lock down things are feeling a bit slow. Hopefully it will pick back up as the vaccine is distributed and lock downs are reduced.

Travel / Events

Currently I have my eye on a trip to Tromsø with my wife in February 2022 for the annual Reindeer Races.

Volunteering / Charity

We're getting serious and looking at a few big options. I'm starting to get tired perhaps after we've made a few big decisions I'll move on.

Education / Languages

I've been a bit lazy with my statistics course and need to get the discipline back for every day taking a step forward.

In other news I've got stuck into my Russian on Duolingo. If I can keep it up then I'll look at taking proper Russian lessons in September when the 2021 night courses come out for University of Dundee or University of St. Andrews.

Financial

So I've resigned from my current job, I'll be moving to a new exciting opportunity in Podcast audio editing software. It will be a lot better for my sanity and pocketbook.
