Title: No excuse to get around to in now !
Post by: oldfashionedgirl on Saturday 21 March 20 16:10 GMT (UK)
I really no longer have any excuse not to put my 40th birthday photos into the lovely album I bought 14 years ago, better do it before I turn 55 ;D

What have you put off ?

After that I intend to sort out the Lego, I don’t think my son who’s turns 30 next week plays with it much  :D

I put everything off so am going to be extremely busy!

I even set to work and did some housework this morning  :o 

On the decorating front am going to paint the white wood by the stairs cream to see how it looks.
If good the doors are going to join in.

I've got almost completely up-to-date with all the mending, minor repair, "I'll do that when I've time..." jobs I've been putting off for ages! We've even fixed a wonky door, cleaned out the moss growing round the windows of one of our cars, cleaned the outside of the cat flap .... cleaned a load of slippy moss off a garden path, pruned / thinned out crowded branches on a potentilla and a philadelphus ( not really sure I should have done either at this time of year but ... what the hell, it's done now....
Wow! What might I have managed by the summer? Finally might get round to trying to improve my Italian? Finish off a half-made bobbin lace motif, still pinned to its pillow in the loft? (no: the reason it got abandoned was a cat came to live here, and several felines since then would all wreck it if I got it out and tried to continue) Might I even finally turn out the bulging drawer in the filing cabinet that has every payslip and bankstatement since the year dot, lurking there?
-Or I could take a glass of red and see if I can make a list of them, in order to prioritise the tasks ... when I get round to that.

Sadly, I have had my holiday in India cancelled.  Perhaps I can now sort out all the wildlife photos I took on the last one!

TY, - snap, - Ive been trying to learn Italian for years!

Try downloading the free Duolingo AP, - it really helps...

My U3A Italian Group have decided to continue meeting online. (The only downside is that we've all got homework to do:-)

Ahh the good old Roundtoit.  ;D  I’ve got to get to grips with my laptop, who needs 3 folders named odd notes 1, 2, and 3   :-\.  I wonder what’s in them?. Might take a sneaky look when I’ve got time   ;D

I'm going to go through all my old VHS video tapes to see if there's anything on them worth keeping. Otherwise they're for the bin

I'm going to be mending a little cold-frame today replacing the glass and giving the wood a coat of wood-presevative paint (Cuprinol). Later on, I'll be sterilizing a barrel for some homebrew.

Why not wait for a couple of days to see if some one could do it for you...  save yourself for something that really interests you...  ;D ;D ;D

Photoshop - I have the complete suite. The last edition that could be bought and not rented. 

I also have hundreds and hundreds of black and white photographs, that need to be coloured. 

What I don't have is the expertise to do it. But, there are a vast number of tutorials on-line (Youtube and the like).  I also have an old and slow 2nd laptop, so I can watch what I have to do on one and do it on the other. 

I am sure that if I look hard enough, I will also find the enthusiasm to do so. 

Regards 

Chas

I'm going to try to get to grips with the 'WATO'  (what are the odds) DNA Painter Site for organizing DNA Matches.

I tried to do it at Christmas, but gave up, as it just seemed too complicated...

If anyone on here is an expert at it, - please let me know!

I've put the quote in the wrong place and for some reason it won't let me edit it! The last line is from me, not JM  :)
