Doer

I have a vegetable garden. It has a wooden border that we can take with us when we move (yes, this is likely in the near future, we have to get near a good school for the kids). It will grow for us spinich, silverbeet, rocket, leeks and snowpeas. I am hoping it will teach the kids to love greens. Is that wishful thinking?
Pics soon. (I promise. I'm a doer remember!)

Not a doer

I'm wondering if I'm a Gana not a Doer or if I really do just have a severe shortage of time in my life. I have fantastic ideas. Big projects I'd love to do, even small projects I'd love to do but never seem to have the time for. I'm hoping, if I write them here, at least I won't forget them when I do have time to do them. Or, if I never find the time, at least I won't forget I had the idea.

  • Organise a street party to get to know the neighbours. After a few attempts at conversation with the next door neighbour (who has three kids similar to ours in age) that were completely shot down, I figure I better stretch my horizons a little.
  • Organise the Heidelberg West community to rally and support the re-building of a new playground that was burnt down only months after completion. (Yep, this is a Big Project. I have no idea where to start with this one.)
  • Plant a vegie garden with the kids. This is one I will definately do when we own our own house, but really, what's stopping me from doing it now?
  • De-clutter the house. I have started this project, but I think it may be a work in progress for the rest of my life.
