Mongoliad

I was idle and I couldn't bear it so I was reading this fascinating alternate history - The Mongoliad

I was diverted briefly by the mention of Francis of Assisi. I looked him up. Our time does not have the monopoly on good or great men

My forest

I dream that when I grow old I will own a mid size forest and I will live by its borders and every morning I'll wake up and see it.

To be politically correct, I am not going to say what I want to do to those who come hunting in there. Think along the lines of the more macabre Roald Dahl short stories and then you'll get an idea

Obligation

I feel increasing despair over our impact on the environment but even when they go extinct, I want to be able to say I cared and that I did my best.

So I do my best

Change

I need it.
When things are the same, I feel ill.
Whether it's a new basket, a new routine, different cuisine or project, I need it

We will never be afraid again

This is my song

Florence and the machine - Spectrum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC-_lVzdiFE)

I have struggled to deny it but in every mood, in every uprising and down swing, I feel this song in my bones.

Say my name and every colour illuminates

Impatience

All the power in the world won't help me find out what happens to Petyr Baelish in Winds of Winter

GRRM!! Write!!

Be not led astray by speaking engagements and the like

And if you are bored of what you've created, as you might be after all these years, I suggest you get a nice upcoming and hungry writer to turn it over to.

Warring instincts

I need to de-clutter. A streamlined minimalised experience is the key to happiness
I need to reduce waste.

buuuut, I feel the urge to shop right now. Manfully suppressing it.
