A Healthy Dose of Catch-Up

*adds "defrag main PC" to the "To Do" list, in the hope that will improve matters....*

Oooohkay, now - let's see...

Ah yes; yesterday: I managed to make some Mission 101 progress!

7 - Learn to cook 12 dishes

Yesterday was "office coffee morning" day, when people bring cake, usually made themselves. I brought home-baked banana muffins! They weren't perfect, but they went down well enough, and the effort was much appreciated - as was the feedback. Next time will be different - and better!

So that's two dishes now for Task 7. Must find more recipes to try.

Also... Whilst checking the number of the "learn to cook twelve dishes" task, I remembered Task 45

45 - Make regular progress on current and forthcoming "projects"

and on the spot decided to have Darkhawk Season 6 done in 52 chapters - one chapter a week, minimum. However... when I read through the "prep-sheets" for the rest of the Season, the approximate number of chapters required came out as thirty-eight - not much more than half the suggested figure. That would suggest that, just maybe, I could have the Season finished - including Reignfall - by the end of the year...

More Mission stuff... Must remember to check whether Perth counts as a city, for Task 19

19 - Visit five cities not on my regular "list"

- that would mean tackling two tasks in one go on August 1st.

(Update: I'd say "yes" to Perth's city status, based on the existence of perthcity.co.uk...)

Family Matters... My great-aunt's will could be finalised and dealt with very soon. Now that would be very good news, in a number of ways - enough to counteract the potential hassle.

And finally - more comics... So far, I'm quite impressed by Marvel's "Heroic Age". Avengers and Secret Avengers have both started off well - but please, let's not have everything geared solely towards the next "big event". Let's have some nice, "organic" stories for a change. Give the audience time to get their breath back. OK?

Also, at "The Distinguished Competition", the Brightest Day 26-issue maxi-series, which I had almost decided not to buy, is following on nicely from Blackest Night. For every step forward, about half a dozen new questions crop up. It's going to get hectic...
