2011

These are some of the things I want to do during 2011. Inevitably, I won't tick them all off, but here's hoping! Writing them down (or rather, typing them out) will help give me some focus.

• Spend loads of quality time with my family, especially my little 3 year old lad!!
• Climb Kilimanjaro (I'm 40 in October and the plan is to do so around that time).
• Submit a script to the BBC writers room. From my blog, you wouldn't guess that I dabble with comedy - I know, it's not funny at all is it? For 9 years or so I've written a successful adults pantomime at my local rugby club - so successful that we've raised over £35000 for worthy causes and given nights of hilarity to more than 3000 people. So, encouraged by comments from many, I plan to write a sitcom script using an idea I've had in my head for a number of years. If it comes to nothing, I won't be too bothered, as long as I've given it my best shot.
• More artwork. Those pencils of mine are going to be put to use. Maybe some outdoor themed pieces. Watch this space.
• Tidy up my allotment and grow some bloody veg - rather than using it as an overflow dumping ground for my garden junk.
• Get a 2nd hand mountain bike a ride a few trails.
• Keep up my jogging regime.
• Visit Scotland. I've a mate who I haven't seen for many years and I've always promised him I will visit him up in Bonnie Findochty. He also likes running so entry into a local 10k or something, followed by a wee (read enormous) swallie! Then there;s the highlands. I want to see the highlands.
• See a cloud/temperature inversion!
• Blog more.

That's probably enough to be going on with. I shall report back in 12 months to see how many come to fruition. I think the only 100% definite will be the first in the list :)!
