I used to do shower pickles, especially after playing soccer.

I decided to give myself a fun resolution of learning to identify trees this year off this thread, and have been studying the british woodlands A-Z when Iām bored (starting at A!) - and Iām proud to say I identified my first tree yesterday, an alder in a parking lot!

Honestly starting that in winter is on hard mode! Thatās awesome. Itāll be so much easier when you have more deciduous leaves to look at I bet!

Yeah I only got the alder because of the rather distinctive catkins and cones combo, a lot of others will need to wait until summer. Was quite the thrill though!

I think mine will be to get all the boxes out of the downstairs roomsā¦ The problem isnāt moving the boxes, itās doing something other than just moving them from room to room. Soā¦?
The attic (cold! 
) is almost clear enough to take boxes from elsewhere, almost. There is still a trunk in the way, it has boxes from stuff we bought in it, just needs to be taken to the dump. When thatās gone, I can set up the 2nd bench I have to take boxes, erect it, and off we go.
So, an alternate to clearing a room/ the attic/wheverā¦ removing 10 boxes a month. The net result should still be to get the downstairs rooms cleared, which is the goal.

I just found this thread and read about Saturday dinners. Were you able to make it happen? Iām inspired, but not really up for every week. Iām thinking Iām going to try for once a month.

No sadly. I still really want to do it but maybe when I donāt have a toddler who doesnāt eat and a dining room thatās right off of the kids bedrooms. Alas
