My 24 for 2024

I am a big fan of Gretchen Rubin’s podcast, Happier. One of the key ideas is to come up with a list for the year e.g. 20 for 2020 etc. I’ve decided to do it this year as well. Some of these things are aspirational, they may never happen. Some I might change my mind about . The idea is to hold it loosely..

1. Visit to Mayo with son to see relations (DONE)
2. Trip overseas with son (had to postpone until 2025)
3. Identify 2-4 new (to me) star constellations.
4. Listen to 6 (new to me) podcast episodes. The idea would be to listen to 1-2 episodes to see if I like them. Have done one “Now you’re asking’“. Bit meh
5. Trip to Scéirde (local landmark)
6. Visit Feenish (local island)
7. Complete Oliver Burkeman course on BBC Maestro (in progress)

14. Read Wolf Hall – The Mirror and the Light
15. Upgrade bedclothes – Ikea, here I come.

17. Take blood pressure 2-3 times a week (just can’t get myself to do this)
