Badge and fob of the Cyclis’s Touring Club – probably 1920s or 1930s.

Before going to bed last night I wrote a list of five things I had to do this morning. Number 1 was read the comments on the blog and Number 2 was to read my emails. The first one was additionally noted (Once) and the second was noted as  (Twice – start and finish). That is intended to streamline my time at the desk by stopping me constantly going backwards and forwards to check emails and comments. I never get anything that needs an instant response so this seems sensible.

The ill-fated list – note the dental appointment was 10 minutes too soon for humour

Number 3 is to get the script done for talk I’m giving at the Numismatic Society and Number 4 to write another article for the Facebook page. There has been a temporary glitch and nothing has been posted for a couple of weeks even though I had sent something in. I thought it was because he was busy with something else, and he thought I ‘d  stopped writing. In fact there was an article in his email box which he hadn’t spotted. Normally I would have written to check but I knew he was busy and he’s a volunteer so I didn’t want to start chasing him with questions. When the kids played rugby I was  given a regional prize for my work as a coordinator of volunteers, so I like to show appreciation and a light touch. It used to annoy me immensely when people tried to treat volunteers as employees. Particularly when they were people who quite clearly not fit to employ people. But I digress.

Shopping List – note the reference to Rat is an abbreviation of Ratatouille

Number 5 is to write a blog post, which I just did.

I also have to get Julia to wood turning and pick her up again. It’s now time to eat breakfast so I’d better get that done.

The numbering system could do with some work as I seem to have missed those important bits out, but it’s getting there.

Note that his only occupies the time until lunch. I should have added “Make plans for pm” to the list.

List v2

The first two were photos that cropped up when I searched for “lists”. Why is cyclists easier to find than “list”. I found lists by searching for “list”. It’s a whole new subject . . .

For the second post of the day, and the result of my planning, try here.
