Appraisal

Miss Matilda Clevland
Johann Zoffany (1733-1810)

MrsM, it is time for your mid-term review.
Can you give me a summary of your achievements
over the past six months?

MrsM
1.
I refreshed my spice and herb collection.

This is about you, the person.

MrsM
1.
I have tried to eat one portion of fruit a day.

I had personal development in mind.
Let's think about the positive steps that you have made.

1.
I have sampled a mojito.
2.
I changed my hairdresser.
3.
I bought black patent wedges from Hobbs.
4.
My new nail polish is called Urban Trash
5.
I have Sleigh Bells on my playlist.

I can see that you are making a real effort
although I am not sure that last one is a positive step forward.

Is there anything which is acting a mental barrier?

1.
The ironing.
Especially the secondary pile which is waiting
for when I finish the primary pile.

What are your objectives for the next six months?

1.
Change my gym time from first thing in the morning
when the medical referral posse works out.
2.
Buy grey merino wrap dress.
Or maybe teal.
3.
Review options for change of handbag.
4.
Consult with Sue, the Chanel Lady
to identify the hot lipstick shades for autumn.
5.
Relocate books from staircase.

I think that the last item is a longer term project
which should be considered under Health and Safety
rather than Personal Development.

Thank you for your time.
We will meet again in six months time
to consider the spiritual and emotional challenges
that you are facing as an Empty Nester.

MrsM
Errr...that could be rather a short conversation...
can we talk about my plans
to refurbish the bathroom instead?
