What to do? Part 4

Ah, this list with suggestions to pass the time in this time of apparently great boredom. If you work from home: great! I am a bus driver currently out of work, so that is not really an option, even if I did have work. Back to the list then...

32. Try an e-learning course.

Yes. Ah. So. Here's the thing: I don't mind learning things, but if there is one thing I cannot do is learning at a distance. For some reason the Norwegian language course worked fine, but all other courses have just fallen away. But, I might learn another language. Would there be a Frysian course out there?

Mmmmmm apple pie

33. Make a cook book.

I am. But at the moment the cook book is in storage. It is a ready made book and you just have to enter your favourite dishes in it. Like the Dronning Maud Pudding we love. And my apple pie. And lately we found a great recipe courtesy of the Hairy Bikers (my favourite televsion chefs by the way) of a great fish pie. I will keep hold of the recipe and enter it in my cook book the minute I find it again.

34. Create homemade gifts. 

Mice, scarfs, hats, baby dresses. Yeah, I think I have that covered. Although I do then try and sell them.

35. Phone (old) friends.

I did. I phoned a friend in Scotland and spoke to her for about 45 minutes. I phone my sister regularly. Last night I spoke to another friend. It is good. We can moan about how life is treating us all at the moment and just vent a bit. Great idea!

36. Play parlour games.

There is one game that might come out, although it hasn't yet, as my dad hasn't reached that level of boredom. But then: sjoelen!!  

37. Fix broken stuff.

I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't want to deprive my dad you know...

38. Design a dream home.

The one with the book room, the craft room, the film room, the lego room (for my sister), the bedrooms, the large kitchen. That one? 

39. Practice forgiveness.

I think the time has come to forgive my German teacher in high school for not giving me the points I feel I deserved. Perhaps his 'reading' the text did mean 'learning' after all...

I am going places and next year I will turn half a century!

40. Plan your next party.

Well, next year. Seeing Sarah (ie turning 50). Time enough to find some ideas.

41. Kick a bad habit. 

I am not telling you my bad habits. Go find your own to kick!
