Rough copy of things I’d like to do in life. Draft #1

This morning I clocked over to 47. Following up on my shocking realisation, according to the ABS that I have roughly 38 summers left on this planet - I’m wasting no time whipping up a list.

These are not in order, some will need to be broken up into little goals, some amalgamated. But it’s a start - really thats the hardest part of anything is just the start.

So the First Draft of a ongoing Life Glitter List of things to do ;

• Develop a long term low maintenance veggie garden that I can grow things all year around & actually eat from.

• Make most meals entirely from my garden and from my preserving.

• Have a large English glass green house that I can use to grow things in the winter in and do projects in so I’m protected outside.

• Build a clever chook house with happy chooks that provide us with enough eggs and to have additional ones for mates

• Have a low impact lifestyle that doesn’t need to much electricity. Chose non electric tools & patterns of life around this idea.

• Install and cook, heat, preserve off my esse-make it the heart of the house. And do the same with an outdoor kithcen chimney space

• Refine down making our own face/cleaning/house products from scratch. Create a book of these as a reference.
