End of Year Goal Review 2025/26

[smallhobbit]

Slightly early, but I've basically achieved everything I had in my goals for 2025/26.

Goal No 1: Do a Themed Monthly Post
Posting Views from the Window every month has been fun and in particular interesting as it's shown the change in the trees over the year.  My last post will be at the end of the month, so I can include views from the upcoming holiday.

Goal No 2: Accept the Unexpected
We decided at the beginning of March we'd go away for a couple of nights and would take my car.  Unfortunately when I got in the car that morning a warning light came on.  So we had to hurriedly move everything over to J's car.  Which worked fine in the end, and the car was soon sorted once we came home - no time to do anything that morning.  And The Daughter and I have booked a holiday for July 2027.  I mentioned it to her as being of interest, she agreed, so we booked - all within a day.

Goal No 3: To Embrace My Personal Interests
That's gone well, although I do sometimes look at my Library Want To Read list and wonder.  However, it's entirely up to me and if I want to do some of the Goodreads Seasonal Challenge, then I shall.  And I have bought rather a lot of audiobooks from a recent Audible sale, but I'll get round to listening to them :)

So yes, it's been a good year.  I don't always achieve all my goals, but it is pleasing when I do, especially when I will carry on with the ideas behind the goals.

Well done! How exciting that you've got a holiday booked for next July.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. Yes, it will be something to look forward to next year :)

Congratulations on keeping up a theme for a whole year! That's real commitment. Do you think you will keep going or will it be something different this year?

[smallhobbit]

I wouldn't want to do the same theme for a second year, but I've decided to go with a water based theme, so I'll be posting pictures from our local canal as well as other watery spots.

Ooh, wonderful! I'm a huge canal fan, so I'll be looking forward to those :)

Adoro suas fotinhas principalmente quando tem as árvores u.u que bom que sua viagem teve algo inesperado que saiu bom no final. Surpresas acontecem né. Não sabia que tinhas filha (ou não me lembrava :risos:), mas bacana saber que já planejaram as próximas férias juntas. Isso aí leia conforme deseja, nada de ficar presas as regras de "vamos ler assim e assado"

I have both a daughter (a paramedic) and a son (dairy farmer), as well as a granddaughter.

Wow que legal a profissão deles, aqui no Brasil não há a profissão paramédica, em tese seria o mais aproximado "socorrista" do SAMU ou Bombeiro Militar que atuam como médico, enfermeiro, atendimento de primeiros socorros ou urgência a depender do caso. Du acho lindíssima a profissão. Você deve ter muito orgulho dela.

E do seu menino que produz leite também já que ele faz parte da dieta básica de muita gente u.u

Ownt você deve ser mó vó coruja
