Inventory of stuff would be great, DW started that a while back but even with minimal amount of it, there is still so much stuff.
Turns out Glasgow has enough of a population of hoarders so we manage to give away quite a few things we found in the flat + some of our things. Onward and downward (wrt amount of stuff).
I am also thinking, business framework how it maybe used to be some time back when people were not thinking prices when asked about values. so maybe business as in 'mind your own business' or 'business = being busy'. Or maybe business as carried out by Dickensian Mr. Fezziwig.

2023 update 37/52
Job
050/156 weeks in.
I am now set on working mostly in R at work, R is going to be my language for now. I will be climbing beginning of the curve with Python as a second language in the learning environment of the data science graduate programme.
There is heaps of work to be lifted from SAS to R, and then expanded.
That said, I will still attend a 2 day workshop on VBA. To understand VBA.
Even though I got a good mark at a review chat with my manager, I think I do at most an 'ok' job at work. I consciously capitalize on learning opportunities available.
With various project, it is sort of quiet now but there will be quite some work later in the year.
Next week or the week after that I anticipate a rollout of adverts regarding posts I can apply for.
Investment Curriculum and Maths
I am doing Applied Computation Mathematics this year. I will learn about applied computational mathematics in Python. This will support my learning of Python as the second language alongside the data science graduate programme.
I picked up the Economics textbook as well but went as far as some revision.
Took the ERE book with me for the conference last week and am finishing re reading it now.
Flat
Still need to unscrew doors in the bedroom to then plane them at the bottom so they run smoothly above the carpet. Also planning to re-caulk the bathtub as the previous owner did a very poor job with it. He left some silicone but I read that the expiry date is Feb 2023 so not going to use it - read stories of it not curing and ending up being an absolute mess.
DW has been giving away various things left by the previous owner. It is surprisingly easy to find people to get the stuff we have, and we are very happy for it!
I think there actually is a bit of a water hammer effect from some pipes, it is just very short. I am going to go up and turn the taps of the outgoing pipes off a bit see if this helps.
Future
I am spending a lot of time sorting out the money now that there are actually some variables and parameters to play with and also I have time to play with them. Building a Power BI model for it.
We booked the 'Life in the UK' test for next month. When we have it, then we will put together passport application and apply for the UK passports. I guess we will then get them in 2024 which is not that much of a lag from the intended 2023. I started reading the book, it is a nice read, happy to learn more about the country!
