do all the things i didn’t make time for in my last year of uni:

  • finish my track bike, join the dulwich hill club and ride at tempe
  • get back to polo again
  • find a place to rent that has space for 6 bikes, an art workshop, a recording studio and a vegie patch, without sharing with tooo many people
  • go for picnics
  • get lots and lots of sleep, ideally in some sort of hammock under a tree
  • work less hours
  • spend more time at the cricketer’s, especially on wednesdays
