In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I've been thinking about this one since I saw it.
My initial thought was it would be cool to be able to draw. I love looking at artwork and have always had a mental image of Tints verse Mikey and Frank in my head I'd love to see as an illustration. As I can't draw for toffee, that illustration will have to remain in my head. Though it is funny how certain mental images lodge tight. Those fics are ancient now, and yet I can still see both characters from it so clearly.
Practical wise, I wish I had the nerve to get back to learning to drive. It frightens me so much and I suspect it didn't help that my first practice was in our car which is a big SUV so it felt like I was driving a big hunk of potential murder metal.
Again, not time, talent or energy-related, but I wish I could finish my WIP already. I won't say which one as I'll be pelted by virtual rotten apples or cheese or bone broth. Secret nod to T who may be reading.
Other things, sadly it wasn't the brushes so my washer is going to go to the big scrapheap in the sky. The repairman said it was a control panel issue and would cost more to repair than to buy a new washer.
Thankfully, some phoning around and a second hand one is being delivered after four this afternoon. The delivery guy will also plumb it in and take away the old one for a little over the price we'd set aside for repairs.
I'm glad it could be arranged so soon because out of all the white goods the washer is the one I really can't do without. I know a lot of people manage quite well without one but I'd rather wash dishes by hand for years or dry over radiators than give up having a washer at home.
But in some good news, James finally had his sickness review meeting today and all warnings have been wiped clean. Meaning no worrying about being moved on to another more serious stage if he's off sick again.
The meeting has been hanging over his head for a bit as his boss had to go off sick herself, but it finally happened today, and I'm sure he's breathing a bit easier now.
