Christmas wish list

Gloria was always annoyed that I could never produce a wish list, for either my birthday or for Christmas.  I did, once produce a Christmas wish list: and then wished that I hadn't.  Some people kept that list, for decades, and I would sometimes receive presents that I had completely forgotten were ever on the list.

Anyway, I am in a new situation now.  I have a new environment, and there are various things which I need in this new life, which I do not have.  I could probably go and get them.  I'm even thinking of getting some of them.  I have looked for some of them, and not found some, or even found them, but not bought them.  But what the heck. 

So, here is my Christmas wish list. 

I thought I would like to get some kind of sling to carry an umbrella.  Something that I can sling over my shoulders and carry one of my umbrellas on days when it's not quite raining, but might rain.  That way I can carry an umbrella, just in case it does rain.  And still be able to walk for miles, without my arthritic hands getting sore from clutching the umbrella.  (I fashioned/kludged together an umbrella sling from three old nametag lanyards from trade shows/vendor meetings.  It's ugly, but it works, and it's even big enough for me to leave it on the umbrella when it's up  :-)

I'm still not reading for fun or relaxation, which is almost getting to be a point of concern for me.  Maybe a complete set of Terry Pratchett might help ...

I probably need to get some kind of "keytainer" to hold my wad of keys and couple of fobs, and to prevent them from drilling holes in my pockets.

For some bizarre reason, I seem to have developed a fondness for multitools, particularly those with a knife blade as part of the set.

Now that I have a new camera, I probably need an extra Canon LP-E17 battery ...
