Night Train

Maker of Things
I've never really seen the point of this tradition of putting off making a decision until some arbitrary point in the calendar. Out of curiosity, how long do these procrastinated decisions typically last into the year?
I don't see it in the frame of 'must loose 2 stone this year' kind of thing, more a plan of what I would like to achieve in the forthcoming year.

My thoughts are verging towards setting a wedding date, to be announced when the bedroom suite is completed this year. It means I will want to get that bedroom, laundry, and bathroom built, plumbed, wired, plastered, decorated and all woodwork done. It also includes designing and making at least the bed if not many other pieces of furniture for the room.

The decision wasn't procrastinated either as the work was started properly some months ago but other jobs have gotten in the way.

And of course, I'll be helping when I can!

My resolution for last year was lose a couple of stone, and ride more, and that resolution lasted oh let me see a year.
Funny that.

lost somewhere
Visit Lidl more
Avoid all news/ earnest opinions/ peer-reviewed papers etc about Climate Change. (Especially that ghastly David Shukman)
Actually, avoid ALL news. "Nothing really matters until it's closer than the house next door" (Steve Forbert: Born too late)
Ride 100 miles by myself.
More FNRttCs than 2012
Be thankful for a lot.
Learn to ballroom dance almost adequately
Take the bike to Europe again

Apart from learning to dance, my targets are pretty modest, really.
