Tasks for the Holiday

I don't have a huge amount I want to do over the Christmas break. In fact, I'm actively trying to avoid getting too much to do - I mostly just want to rest for a while. That said, there are a few things I'd like to do:

• Deep-clean the kitchen. This is something that hasn't been done in rather too long, and it's therefore something I want to tackle early in the holiday (indeed, ideally before Christmas Day). Basically, it's a case of moving everything off the work surfaces and cleaning those, then cleaning the appliances and putting them back, cleaning the oven and the microwave, and then giving the floor a good scrub. It's probably a couple of hours of work, which isn't too bad, but it does need that effort applied.
  
• Restock the freezer. We have a few things in stock, but I'd like to spend some time building those supplies - making up some chilli, a number of curries, some pizzas, and maybe a shepherd's pie. This isn't too tough a job, since it can be spread across many days, but it's worth getting done to make January that bit easier. (This will also help determine whether we go back to our two-freezer approach, or can fit everything in one.)
  
• Get new kitchen bins, maybe. LC has identified a good solution to our bin problem, depending on the sizes working. So we'll need to measure the area involved, and if suitable we'll order the new bins and fit them.
  
• See Star Wars. This may or may not qualify as a task, depending on how badly they've screwed it up. I'll let you know.

And that's it. Four things - one for before Christmas, one (probably) for the 27th, one for some time in the next two weeks, and one longer-term task. Should all be manageable. #58: "Fantasy Mapmaker", by Jared Blando #59: "Shiang", by C.F. Iggulden
