I’m not sure how this can be a measurable goal for me, but there are certain areas where I feel I need to refresh a basic grasp of the simple facts, when I’ve mastered these I’ll be happy.

Areas to impove on very basic general knowledge of:

- Maths & Science
- English language (grammar)
- Cars (the workings of, and how to drive)
- Cooking
- Law (my legal rights)
- Geography
- Economics
- Chess
- Non-European History
- Gardening

Update 1:
Well I’m getting along with the Cooking and English Language parts. I’ve subscribed to the BBC Good Food magazine, and I try to cook a different thing at least every other day, something completely different that I’ve never cooked before. I’m trying new things as well, like cooking more with fish, which I don’t normally do.

I have enrolled on a course in English Language and will also be doing a course on the history of linguistics…should be intense!!

Below is a list of the novels by Thomas Hardy, bold are the ones I have read so far. I am pretty sure I read a few in my much younger years, maybe in school, but as I cannot remember I am only counting the ones I know I have read.

• Desperate Remedies
• Under the Greenwood Tree
• A Pair of Blue Eyes
• Far from the Madding Crowd
• The Hand of Ethelberta
• The Return of the Native
• The Trumpet-Major

• Two on a Tower
• The Mayor of Casterbridge
• The Woodlanders
• Tess of the d’Urbervilles
• Jude the Obscure
