A 2nd autumn/winter goal I’ve set myself…

I’ve 2 bedrooms left to declutter - a pile of the outlaws’ photographs to sort through - even late DH didn’t know who half of them were.
Once that’s done, I’ll go through my wardrobes - again!

That's a good idea Witzend* Maybe I'll join you with the Schumann.

As for decluttering, I shall aim to have the loft cleared by my 70th birthday, which is in November.

Has anyone else set themselves a task for the cold, dark months?

My first is to tackle one drawer or cupboard every day and get rid of stuff we no longer wear or use. Set myself the same last year but hardly did any. Resolved to do better this year - but that’s for after the clocks change.

2nd, after barely touching the piano for ages (and I was never much good at all) aiming to learn one favourite piece I tried (and gave up on) a few years ago - Schumann’s ‘Of Strange Lands And People’.
I’m going to try to do it by learning very small sections by heart, playing each over and over, until they’re finally dinged into my ‘muscle memory’.
We shall see….
