Hard to believe that it's been a year since I started my latest lot of 101 Things in 1001 Days. And already the end date seems to be looming even though there's still 600 odd days go. With that in mind it seemed like a good idea to have a look at how I am doing... or not doing which probably the more realistic outcome especially with my brain. Still I have completed some challenges which is always a good sign. Hopefully I'll finish a few more before the year is over.
We can but hope... and eat a lot of chocolate.
Completed So Far:
1. Buy 10 items that are second hand. Amazingly I have done this, what with buying jigsaws, a cardigan, and a few other bits and pieces, all courtesy of our local OP shops.
2. Finish a 1000+ piece jigsaw puzzle. Done and dusted, even if it did have 1 piece missing in the end.
3. Give or donate to a charity. Actually did both - donated to the Red Cross OP Shop and gave some money to the SPCA and Cancer Society
4. Grow a plant from seed. Lots of plants actually so that was a super big win
5. Knit a cardigan. I ended up unpicking it but yes I did actually finish this so go me
6. Have fish 'n' chips by the beach. Done a handful of times so far so this was actually a super easy one to do
7. Plant some spring bulbs. Another easy one. Even if sadly only a handful came up. Still a win is a win
8. Win a giveaway/competition. Finally. I won something. A gardening book no less.
9. See the snow. Saw it, stood on it and touched it.
10. Read 1 Agatha Christie novel. Okay so I cheated a little and listened to the full cast audio of And Then There Were None. But I'm still counting it.
11. Participate in "A photo an hour" and post on my blog. Done. More than once.
12. Visit an island. Monkey Island. Which technically is a tidal island and very, very small. But an island is island no matter what kind.
13. Visit a sunflower field. Weston, Otago and it was glorious.
