25 Things in 2025 - First Quarter

As I mentioned in yesterday's post each quarter I plan to list 6 things relevant, either to the quarter or for the rest of the year.

2 Drink at least one litre of water each day
Now I know the recommendation is two litres, but I'm being realistic - make the target too high and I simply won't try.  When I mentioned this when we met The Daughter for pre-Christmas lunch she promptly ordered me a water bottle, so now I have plenty of encouragement.

3 Replace my current laptop
I need to upgrade to Windows 11, before Windows 10 finally gives up, and my current laptop is getting slower, so I can't put it off any longer.

4 Replace my current mobile
Again, although I still like my current phone, it has got to the point where it no longer receives system updates which I need to use banking apps apart from everything else.
Two expenses, but I have been preparing for them for some time so it's time to do something about it.

5 Use Library Plus
Our county library has recently introduced a new system where borrowers can sign up to access the library outside staffed hours.  I have done this, but haven't yet worked up the courage to use it.  It's probably not essential for me, but it will show support for the system.

6 Facilitating birthday celebration
We have a major birthday in the family coming up, so I need to make suggestions and do some sorting while making sure it's what the person actually wants.

7 Halve my current list of OpenLearn courses
I have 19 courses on my list and I aim to complete 10.  This, of course, takes no account of any I might subsequently add!
