Augusts Plans and Julys Outcomes

Urgh.  August.

If I thought July was wet August is definitely going to show me what rain really is.  Definitely not the kind of weather for making plans and doing things.  Which on the plus side it means I can do a lot of reading and movie watching and not feel even remotely guilty about it.  So that's a win right there.

Maybe I can just forgo all the plans for this month.

No?

Okay then.  Plans it is. 

Crafting

Does looking at it and taking it out of its hiding place count?   Probably not which means that this definitely has to stay on the plans list.  I've even moved to the top of the page just to show how serious I am.
Gardening

This is going so super well that I really don't need to do that much this month.  All the garden beds have been weeded, the compost laid out and I've even got some cuttings in pots which will *cross fingers* shoot out some roots for me so that I can plant them in the garden.  So tasks for this month is basically just turning over the compost.  Now that's my kind of gardening.
Get Fit and Healthy

Another plan that is so far going well.  The new sneakers have been taken out and finally gone on a few morning walks... in between the rain of course and I've been mostly eating healthy.  Or at the very least attempting to.

Now if I could just give up chocolate...
Being Frugal

Kind of way of life for us on the whole but as always I'm always on the look out for ways we can cut our costs even more so that we have more money to spend on the things that we really want such as travel, etc.

As part of this I've started taking cuttings from some of my existing plants in the hopes I can grow some new ones from them.  I'm really hoping this works as it will save me heaps on buying plants for our rather barren and empty looking garden.
Learning a Language

Konnichiwa.

Ta da.  I'm learning Japanese.  I know, right?  So cool and totally unexpected but as my local library is offering free classes I decided to give it a go.

It's mostly spoken Japanese as learning to read and write it is apparently really hard.  Though I did learn how to write my name in Japanese which was kind of neat. 

Watch this space to see how the rest of the lessons go.
Reading

I probably don't really need this on the plans list as it's always a thing.  But since reading is kind of what I love and do it's going to stay here. And with all this wet and wild weather coming I'm more than likely going to be doing plenty of it.  All with a hot cuppa on hand.

Can I just sigh now.
