Things I did on the first day of the new year:

Took apart a flat-pack computer desk, and assembled a different one, while sleep-deprived and dehydrated, in perfect harmony with my partner. I don't understand the meme about flat-pack furniture destroying marriages because we're so good at doing them. A nice ratcheting screwdriver with multiple fittings does help.

Jump-started a small tractor.

Ate all the cornbread.

Played one of my new card games late into the night with my parents and siblings, with much merriment and laughter.

I hope everyone else's year is off to a good start too.

My bestest friend and I LOVE building flatpack furniture together. :-)

Happy Gregorian calendrical rollover!

The reassembly of the desk that had been in storage was done entirely from memory of what it had looked like, without instructions or numbered parts. It was fine and we only had two bits of dowel left over!

Yay!

That's a pretty good "Ta-Da" list!

I liked your new year post! It sounds like a very enjoyable and profitable day. Well done! Ehem - I should post something too...

We're about to assemble some new flat-pack furniture. We'd have done it today but for visitors. We have a ratcheting screwdriver too.

My old computer desk (still in good nick) is flat-pack and I'll happily disassemble it if a buyer wants.

What are your new card games?

[pebblerocker]

I was going to say just look in the entry where I wrote about buying them, but that is one heck of a wall of text.

I have Bring Your Own Book, which was excellent fun for all the family and nobody wanted to stop playing it over Christmas, and Marrying Mr Darcy, which I'd known about from its very successful Kickstarter and which entertained my mother and sister and my brother and even my father very much at New Year's. I think one of my major goals in life is to have people play board games with me a lot; I'm going to have to get over my worries about the necessity of being around people if I want to achieve that.
