25 things in 2025 - First Revision (First Half)

[smallhobbit]

Having originally decided to split my year into six things every quarter, plus the overall goal of achieving 25 things in the year, I then found two things I wanted to add, but felt it would be better to start them now, rather than wait until April.  So since it's my list, to be run my way, I've now added them as Two Things to be achieved in the first half of the year, because they may well reasonably take more than three months anyway.

8 - Reduce pile of greetings cards
I was sorting through my greetings cards to see what I needed to buy for this year and realised I had a large number of odd cards from previous packs.  And the best way of reducing the number is by sending or giving them to people.  Currently I have 28 blank cards, plus 2 birthday cards (probably inherited from my mother) and 3 Easter cards.

9 - Listen to Delius
AnnaFan writes Lord of the Rings AUs on AO3 and her current story is a music college AU.  Every chapter has a piece of music mentioned and a couple of weeks' ago this was Delius North Country Sketches which I listened to as I read the chapter.  I liked it and realised I'd never really listened to anything by Delius, so for the next few months I plan to listen to a number of his works.

Que fofinho, você envia cartões para seus amigos e familiares. Sempre achei esse um gesto tão legal. Eu tenho alguns postais que colecionei de lugares que fui (tudo bem próximo de casa, o único mais de longe é de quando viajei para outro estado). Também ganhei uns postais com temática de super heróis (que eu nem sabia que existiam), e outros dois de editoras independentes como brinde por ter comprado livros com eles.

Ah fic que tenha trilha sonora é o máximo, a coisa mais chique possível u.u

Thank you. I like to send cards to friends when I have the opportunity - I think it's a nice way to stay in touch.

Sim, soa como um ótimo método de dizer olá para quem está longe e os que estão perto também u.u

Good for you! Yes, sorting through cards is something that needs doing periodically.

Packs bought over the years which as yet have no recipient - time to do something about it!

This sounds very organised :-)

That's the theory - and why I'm writing it down as one of my Things, so that I feel I have to do something about it 😅
