So far today I have swept the bunnies area and fed them. I am about to take a bath and since I washed the dishes yesterday all the housework that can be done is done. I have even already got my review written out for the day!
So today I think I will play some World of Warcraft and then watch a movie or TV show while continuing to knit my scarf, lets see if I can get it finished before winter hits!
Oh I may also try and finish the design of my blogs and work on my website some more, I have free hosting at the moment so I have no excuse. Its not the best hosting but I am not going to pay for hosting until I need to I can at least use the free hosting to get something online and then work from there.
Ok bath time!

Saturday 28 September 2013
So I started a project.
I started a scarf today. It's slow work at the moment because I am still getting used to the wrist movements. I am, however, excited that I was able to complete a couple of my stitches while watching TV and not actually looking at my knitting.
I have now done about an inch or two and will continue this until I have run out of wool then I will move onto my next project which will be golf club cozies.
Below is the work to date and every time I work on it I will take pictures and blog it.
Today has been a productive day I feel!

Thoughts on the day
This isn't something that will happen every day, just felt like doing this today.
All I have left of the things I had planned to do is eat dinner and watch/blog a movie.
Tomorrow my partner is gone for most of the day so I will do the cleaning she would normally do, as well as playing some World of Warcraft, however once the cleaning is done I may find a TV show and sit down and watch it so I can blog about it rather than movies all the time.

Things I have achieved today.
Well today has been another day where I end up not being at work for one reason or another so here is what I have done instead.
I swept all the floors.
Cleaned the dishes.
Cleaned the mirror in the bathroom.
Cleaned the bathroom.
Wrote some blog posts.
Took off a plug from an appliance that no longer works.
Shortened the cable for our kettle (the power cord was just way too long)
Sorted out the laundry as best as I could.
Cleaned out the rabbit area.
So some things!
Things left for me to do for today.
Make lunch for my partner and I (this will be easy as it is just a case of reheat this soup that was made yesterday.
Watch a movie or TV show and then blog about it (one of the things I like about having a smart phone is that I have downloaded a couple of apps that will allow me to be making my posts while watching the shows.)
Eat dinner after possibly making it (this is going to depend greatly on if my partner wants to cook tonight or not.)
Play with the rabbits, though this isn't a job in my opinion as they are great to have around and the fact that our most timid one has started to come to me when I call her is just great!
So again not too many things. I think because of what time it is now and the fact that my partner will be home in about 45 mins I will play with the rabbits for a while and then put on the soup :)

Ways to improve myself
So my partner, yesterday, gave me the task to find 3 things I wanted to learn to do before Christmas.
So here is my list.
1} I want to knit golf club cozies.
I figure this was going to be harder than a scarf and as much as I am slow at doing them I can already knit those.
2} Make soap.
My partner managed to get a soap making set and so I plan to learn how to use them to begin with moving onto making soap from scratch after Christmas.
3} Making the best flapjacks as possible.
Now these are not to be mistake for American flapjacks, these are oatmeal sugar and butter mainly with other things added to it depending on the recipe.
4} Perfect my Eccles cake recipe.
Now because I am me I decided to do 2 food related things. I can already make Eccles cakes from memory (such as it is!) but I never wrote the recipe down so I plan to perfect the recipe so that they are great every single time, and write the recipe down so that we have it for when someone says "My those are the best Eccles cakes in the world, can I have the recipe?"
Now if anyone has any recipe's or patterns that they wish to share I am always open to receive them and try them out!

So what's this all about?
Well in a nutshell, I want to better my life, learn new skills and feel like I can make a place for myself in this world.
One of my major things I need to do to better myself is by finding a new job. I have been looking and looking and it is hard for a man of my age to find the kind of work I enjoy. I am 37 going on 38 and ideally want to work in the hotel reception or office administration trade.
Now the ways that I will be trying to get my name out there are via C.Vs and developing a website that is devoted to the things I can already do and what I am doing to develop new skills. I will be adding this blog, as well as my review blog, partially as a place where more people may find me but also so that any potential employers can see my writing capabilities.
This blog will be kept up to date whenever possible with ideas, news and pictures of things I have done.
So that's what this is about. The development of me (that sounds like an awesome Indy movie!) The only thing I ask is if I place a copyright on something, don't copy it and claim it is yours! Other than that I hope you enjoy.
