Following on from the goals I set myself for March, which met with varying levels of success, here’s what I’m hoping to achieve in April.
Wardrobe edit part two
I made a start on my wardrobe last month but I still have a loooooong way to go. I think I was being rather too ambitious so I’m going to aim to sort out just one side of my closet this month. Just taking baby steps …
Continue reading more books
Starting as I mean to go on, I’ve already ticked off this month’s Book Group choice (watch out for my review later in April). Top of my To Read pile now is Gerald Seymour’s “No Mortal Thing”, about the ‘Ndrangheta families, the intelligence services, and organised crime in Europe. I love Gerald Seymour’s books, I’ve read them all, he never disappoints.
Start riding again
I love riding so, now that the weather is better, I want to treat myself at least once every six weeks. Being out on a horse makes me feel so much better inside. Everyday worries just fade away as I chat to my horse, watching his ears flicking backwards and forwards as he listens to me. And those 90 minutes of freedom make up for a world of pain next day when I can’t move!
Sort out our summer holiday
We need to make some decisions this month as to where we’re going to go for our summer holiday. In previous years we’ve always gone to Kalkan in Turkey where we have many friends. But the direction Mr Erdogan is heading in, plus the recent ban on taking anything larger than a mobile on return flights, are causing us a great deal of concern. If it were only the two of us to consider then we’d probably go. But we have a child so we need to think very carefully about subjecting her to any dangers.
Organise more play dates for Flora
I have been completely rubbish about organising play dates for Flora this year and the Mummy guilt is huge. Trying to fit in play dates among all the extra-curricular activities has always required dexterity and a degree in juggling but I managed before so I’m not sure what went wrong last term. MUST. DO. BETTER.
Bonus goal
This one is a carry forward from March. I want to realise a dinner date with my husband – we managed a lunch date last month (hallelujah) but need to try harder for that elusive evening out!
What are your April goals? I’d love to hear what you’d like to achieve this month!
