juliet: My rat Ash, at 6 wks old, climbing up the baby-rat-tank and peering over the edge (ash exploring)
Full list
Finished! Eventual figures:
1001/1001 days, 76 completed, 2 still in progress, 23 didn't happen.

That's not too bad, I reckon. Some of the things I did do were genuinely useful (building the fixie that I now ride daily, and the weekly O'Reilly blogging that was instrumental in getting the freelance stuff going, being obvious stand-outs); many of them were much fun (writing letters!). I found the monthly check-in that I did to be a useful reminder of Stuff I Want To Get Done. I almost certainly will do this again, but with a bit more built-in flexibility; there were several things on the list that in the end I just didn't want to do (and so didn't).

This month )

Dog!

juliet: Grown-up Bramble rat with baby Ash and Rowan rats (ash bramble rowan)
[personal profile] dogrando & I have a DOG! His name is Finlay (it was Omar when he was at Battersea but he doesn't know that yet so we felt it was OK to change it).

He's a Battersea rescue, probably aged between 7 and 10, & probably an Anatolian Shepherd crossed with something else (or several something elses), possibly including some variety of labrador. He's incredibly laid-back, likes people a lot, and seems to be settling in fine, apart from a disinclination to eat his dinner (not unusual in the circs). Also he threw up on the kitchen floor, but, hey, there we go.

Photos! On the platform at Battersea Park station. (He was very well-behaved on the train on the way home, too.)

He's a bit bigger than we'd anticipated but the laid-back-ness makes up for it.
