However, that's not to say I've forgotten all about my list. No, siree! This week has largely been about research and development. For research I have, after extensive googling. ordered a book and a map about walking the Cheshire Ring (all 97 miles of it...not in one go...what do you think I am? Fit?!) and for development I have now drilled the holes in my window box, filled it with compost and planted some seeds (and an already grown plant that I was recently given). Photos will follow for this little venture but I can't actually find the wire for my camera at the moment so will get back to you on that one!
I've also taken my first photo of the Blue Peter garden so I've not been slacking!
One of the other exciting things I have done (and I confess I did this a few weeks ago in preparation) is that I have bought a plane ticket to Copenhagen. "Copenhagen?" I hear you cry. "But that's not on the list" (well unless you count dancing there for one of my capital cities). Well no, going to Denmark is not technically on the list but going to the Eurovision Song Contest is! Now the Eurotastics amongst you are probably scoffing at me now saying "You silly girl, next year's Eurovision is in Sweden not Denmark." But here's the thing, it's not happening in the capital Stockholm (which is a pity as I have a friend there so could have stayed for free). No, next year's Eurovision is in Malmo, Sweden's third largest city which is right next to the 5 mile long (yes I did say 5 miles!) Oresund Bridge which links to Copenhagen. It was £150 cheaper to fly to Copenhagen than direct to Malmo. Now you see my cunning plan. (Bet you didn't think you'd learn stuff from my blog did you?!)
(It's long I tell you!)
One (or technically 2) of the other list items I've attempted is that I spotted a competition to win a chance to meet Ben Ainslie! Not sure when the draw date was but pretty soon I think so may have already failed on that one!
I've also had a few volunteers to help me with certain challenges - thank you so much all of you who've offered so far - I will try and accept as many of these as I can so expect a call/email in due course. The response to my blog so far has been amazing. Please keep reading and routing for me.
I currently have next Saturday free so my plan is to tackle something then - it may be starting my walk (if you'd like to join me on a short leg of this... especially if you have a car let me know on the comments) or I might tackle one of the others - suggestions welcome. With so many to choose from it's hard to know where to start. Logically I need to be completing one of these every 2 weeks so perhaps I need to do one of the ones I can finish in one go. But which one do you think I should go for first?
Well, if it rains at any point then that is an easy one to knock off. Obviously, you'll be wanting to avoid a "Kate" situation but there must be a nice secluded spot nearby! Or you could just throw caution to the wind. If you don't move naked then you are not indecent!! So get nude and stay completely still.
ReplyDeleteNo I definitely don't want to do a Kate - better than doing a Harry though I suppose! Although maybe he followed your advice to "get nude and stay completely still" too!
ReplyDeleteAm looking forward to following your progress, and am happy to get involved in any alcohol or singing related ones :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is the longest rail bridge in the world, and that is how I went across to Sweden as it was cheaper to fly to Denmark :-)
