Had dory fish for lunch - didn't taste that different to haddock to my clearly under-developed fish palette. So that makes 5 fish so far (haddock; grey turbot; salmon; tuna; dory). Also visited my first place of worship this year - sung Eucharist at St Andrews Cathedral, Singapore which was very nice. Sadly due to being here with work I didn't have time to visit any other places of worship :-( but was nice to go to Eucharist.

Singapore Cathedral! Thats really something, DundeeDoll

Hi everyone
Im thinking of changing a couple of mine as some I know I wont find enjoyable and its not supposed to be done for punishment is it?
Anyway so far:
1. Read 20 books 2/20
2. 20 days out 1/20
3. Make 20 items Knit/sew 0/20
4. Make 20 new to me meals 1/20
5. Save 20 £20 0/20
6. 20 pet food donations 0/20
7. 20 mins mindfulness a day 4/20 I keep forgetting to do this
8. 20 mins walk a day 1/20 not going to be able to achieve this
9. Say yes/no 20 times without guilt 0/20
10.20 journeys not using car 1/20
11. 20 weeks of £20 food shopping 0/20
12. Phone dd2 20 times 0/20 she keeps phoning first
13. Declutter 20 items a month Jan 20/20
14. Watch 20 dvds 3/20
15. Buy 20 items for cs 0/20
16. Grew 20 different f&v on lottie haven't sorted seeds yet

So it seems to me the walks mindfulness and vegan are going to be the challenging ones. As a veggie you'd think the vegan ones would be simple!!!
Anyway thinking about it I will carry on see how I get on as its the trying rather than having to do it that matters!
