Is it time for an actual update?
Why yes I think it is.
This is what I've been working on in the last couple of months
#19. Do a first aid course
Was supposed to finish this in the beginning of december. The last class was postponed though, due to bad weather. (There was an inch of snow, which makes half the country freak out like they've never seen snow before..) Last class will be in january now, and then I can tick it of the list.
#20. Be able to park a car confidentely.
I've been driving a lot more lately, since i can use my dads car. And I practice parking everytime I take the car to my flamenco lessons. There's a very quiet parking garage nearby, so at least I don't get weird looks when I try and park a car about 10 times in a row. Parallel parking is still a big no for me though.
#25. Try 5 new dance classes
So I've started flamenco lessons in september and I love them! It's just so different to what I've done before, the whole counting is just different.
28. Ask for book recommendations and read 25 of them
12. De helaasheid der dingen - Dimitri Verhulst
I read another book that's been recommended to me. This was a book by a Belgian author, which I don't read all that often. It started of as quite a crude story and I was worried it might be one of those books that's popular just because it's all a bit rude and in your face, but it became a bit more tender as it went on. A very memorable book.
#29 Ask for film recommendations and watch 10 of them
9. The Intouchables
This wasn't actually a film that was recommened to me at the beginning of the project. I was at a friends house who told me I must see this film. She happened to have it on dvd, so I could borrow it. I loved it. It was a very moving, heartwarming story, without becoming too cliché.
#36. Write down my current favourite song at the end of every month and after 1001 days make a mixcd
I realise I haven't done the music club for last month, although I did have a song in mind. In november I went to see Two Door Cinema Club and it was one of the best gigs I've been to in a long time! Just one of those gigs where I loved every single song and spend the entire evening dancing.
So song of choice is Sleep Alone by Two Door Cinema Club
Click to viewAnd I'm also doing this month's music club early, because it's a christmas song! Yes I picked a christmas song. I'm not a christmas song kind of person. But the other day I heard this one on the radio and I was like.. why hasn't anyone told me about this song before, it's brilliant!
So my christmas jam this year is Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses
#42 Make 1 recipe out of every cookbook I own
Made a couple of recipes out of Short & Sweet by Dan Lepard.
#44. Try 10 new vegetables or fruits
Tried khaki fruit the other day, which was very nice. I'm sure I've had other things aswell, but I can't remember them.
#59. Go to a spa
My sister took me to the spa for my birthday. We tried the sauna, salt bath, steam baths, scrubs and relaxing rooms. It was very nice and relaxing and not half as weird as I imagined walking around naked half the time would be.
That's all I've done really. Not a whole lot, but I must admit my motivation is a bit low. I'll get back into it though!
