I am shortly going to be 63, I have four children and two grandchildren and have not long retired from teaching psychology to sixth formers. My husband has almost always worked in another town, for quite long periods in another country, and for one year, on another continent, while I stayed here in the midlands and went to parents' evenings. When the children had grown up I spent a lot of time looking after my dear mother. So now I reckon I'm about as free as I am going to be (it's just a pity that this unwonted freedom has coincided with my knees beginning to give up) and I've made a list of things to do. I'm not calling it a bucket list - it's a series of aspirations, so I'm calling it my carpe diem list.
First on the list is to keep a blog or diary. I've chosen a blog as it involves technology. I felt that advancing my skills should be one of my aspirations, but I don't even know enough to make a specific target. No. 3 son suggested mastering Call of Duty, but I have played some sort of Star Wars game with my older grandson, and I couldn't have been more useless. I hadn't the faintest idea what I was meant to be doing, and he scored about 100,000 while I scored zero. He's seven, by the way. So, as this isn't meant to be an exercise in humiliation, gaming is out.
I've just looked at the preview and it's a bit boring, but I don't expect anyone much to read it any way. Still, I mean to upload photos if I can. In fact this is me:
