julietFull list.
003. Make a summer dress - I am over halfway through this. It is long & has buttons down the front! Done by hand because my sewing machine has broken, but this means I'm actually doing it quicker as it is compatible with talking to people / watching DVDs / etc.
005. Take a photograph daily for a month & blog it 03.07.2007 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/45663166@N00/tags/daily/ )
006. Make a cushion cover for the spare cushion in my room - still stopped on this.
007. Finish all currently ongoing sewing/knitting projects - finished the silk dress & patched a slightly rat-chewed skirt that's been on the pile for about 4 years.
019. Grow salad leaves on the balcony and keep them going for 3 months (i.e. enough to eat daily for those 3 months) - now been going for just over a month. Tasty chicory & rocket. Just started another set of leaves, as well. I'm not actually eating them daily, but they're still going sufficiently that I could.
027. Keep track of my reading for 3 months. - still stopped.
029. Read Ulysses. - discovered that this is available via Project Gutenberg, so am reading it on the Treo. This is working quite well.
037. Finish course with distinction. - got >70% (= distinction) on all courses this year! Hurrah.
043. Get out of current debt (excluding student loan). 01.07.2007 Final payment made on MPhil loan on the 1st July; credit card paid off the previous month. Hurrah! (Obv still have mortgage but that doesn't count :-) ).
051. SR series - no further progress.
054. RRTY (Randonneur Round The Year i.e. one 200+K ride every month for a year) - missed the July one (only rode 140k). I'm thinking of putting this on hold for a bit while I ride a few more 100k to get a bit faster. Currently I'm close enough to the time limit that I find it a bit stressful, & I don't like that.
061. Do my back exercises daily for a month. - been doing this *nearly* daily for a couple of weeks. Actually daily since start of this week (30.07.2007), so must continue again.
077. Swim in the sea 29.07.2007 - went for a swim at the end of the Dunwich Dynamo! And very lovely it was too, especially feeling that we had *earnt* it (by cycling 116mi, much of them in the rain).
088. Go to one of the S Ken museums for lunch (to look, not to eat lunch!) once weekly for a month - did this for 2 weeks at the start of July, then missed since. Will start again. It is fun!
089. Write a "proper" (i.e. non-diary, non-organising) LJ post once a week for 3 months. - have been doing this for July, must continue.
090. See sunrise and sunset at the equinoxes & solstices for a year - obviously no more progress on this until autumn equinox!
092. Make rat-cover for sofa; get rats out daily for a month - given up on making of rat-cover (which is less important anyway). Have been doing much better on this of late. Missed Sunday though :( so start again as of 30.07.2007.
099. Send IMSoc stuff off to the Johnson Johnson collection as I have been meaning to do for about 5 yrs now - STILL need to have another go with the scanner.
212/1001 days, 18/101 things done, 15/101 things in progress.
