- Work out how to emigrate to Canada and start working toward it.
I have made some progress with this but not that much. My partner has started a course that will hopefully help him move. I think I need to look at what I will be capable of doing. I am still interested in carpentry, as well as photography and writing. Maybe self employment would be good for me.
- Declutter the flat. Get rid of as much as possible.
I have made good progress with this and I have got rid of a lot of clutter. There is still work to do but I am very happy with what I have done so far. It is not just a case of decluttering but it is changing a lifelong habit of not having a cleaning system and letting clutter get out of hand.
- Read up about Buddhism. I feel that I am a Buddhist but do not know that much about it.
I have done some reading up about it, but I could read up some more and of course ideally I really need to find out where there is a Buddhist center near me.
- Work on my photography.
I have been taking pictures everyday and I have been editing them. I have started a photography blog which will also hopefully inspire me to keep improving. I have also joined a photography club which will also hopefully help me improve my skills.
- Learn more about Photoshop
I have got a book on Photoshop and I have got stuff from magazines, but sadly I have not been good at making the time to sit down and learn. Other things have sadly got in the way. I do feel that I have done well with learning about working with RAW files and about the white balance. I am also confident with my mono conversions. I do need to learn more about the creative aspect of Photoshop and more about layers.
- Go on a photography course
I went on a photography course in September. I really felt that I learned something from it and I am planning on taking the follow up course either in January or in April.
