Now, About Patent Saturday...

I'm sure readers will remember

65 - Celebrate each and every Spiritwalk (May 22) and Patent Saturday (December 1) like they really mean something (which they do!)

and how I was thinking of making the last Patent Saturday at my birth-place a nice quiet affair...

Change of plan. Wednesday was the One Week To Go mark, and I decided to order the trunk I'd been thinking of getting from storagetrunks.co.uk - there are possessions that will be leaving this house in style. And then I had a brain-wave - seven days to go, so what about a present for every day...? Wednesday is dealt with, and so is Thursday, as of about fifteen minutes ago (and technically I could count Sunday as covered as well - more details on the big day). I have no plans for anything else big/semi-expensive, unless an unmissable deal drifts my way (see above, re: Sunday). Three down, four to go...

"Let's move like we got a phocena phocena...!"

Sorry - that's something of a work-related joke: phocena phocena is the Harbour Porpoise. Get it...?

Yes, spank me - I deserve it.

Back to the world of sanity... The Seven Gifts of Patent Saturday are all ordered, or purchased. The last four were acquired in town today, and are smaller, more mundane gifts than the first - but even so, I think I can put another *SCORE* beside Task 65

65 - Celebrate each and every Spiritwalk (May 22) and Patent Saturday (December 1) like they really mean something (which they do!)

Talking of Tasks: I may have just managed to cross

87 - Get a decent computer desk that DOESN'T have a metal frame!

off the list, having been successful in absentee-bidding for a suitable piece of furniture at the local auctions! It'd be nice to be able to declare one task a full *SCORE* this month, and this will most likely be the one.

Unless, of course, I manage to finish my current outstanding craft project before Wednesday, and fulfill

52 - Complete some craft projects I've started

That I can definitely achieve, with a bit of effort...
