And the score is... Let's get straight down to the bad news.

TASK FAILED - Task 64 Complete The Move without any serious drama. This was, in all honesty, doomed before I even started my Mission. There was just too much stuff to shift, and thin out. On the day we were due to hand over the keys, at noon, we only managed to lock the door of Number 99 for the last time at 0345 that morning. Tempers got a little frayed now and then, and we were so tired the next day that we had a bit of a "fender bender", losing a headlight in the process. I think we can call that a *FAIL*, don't you?

I have already paid my £1 charity penalty, to The Fishermans Mission when we ate out earlier that week.

Better News... I have at last COMPLETED my list, promoting my "Task 102" to a full list Task, as Task 100 - Take one last midnight walk round the neighbourhood. This I completed on the 4th, not long before the run-up to The Move. It's a kind of personal thing, which not everyone will "get"...

...and I even took a camera. )

My final Task is 101 - Keep my new bedroom and office CLEAN AND TIDY! So far, I'm managing to do that, but the office may get more cluttered as the moved stuff is relocated for sorting and pruning. I will do my best to keep on top of this.

As far as other Tasks go, I'm struggling with several "monthlies" in the wake of The Move, but I am keeping my head above water as far as Task 29 - Buy a book a month from a real bookshop is concerned. 70 - Re-organise my notice-board is properly underway, now that it's been taken down, thinned out and Moved - a Task that I can definitely complete by the next Update.

I haven't seen my Edinburgh Zoo binturong yet for Task 73, as I really haven't had the energy for a trip out of town. This is on my "Must Do This Summer" list, and I will try to find an opening in July.

In closing... Not a stellar level of success, but I have filled out my list, and admitted a crashing FAIL. There is still so much to do, so much to tidy up - and probably a heap more stuff to throw out. Wish me luck...

Not long back from seeing Transformers - Dark Of The Moon, but I'm in no mood for an extended review. 7.5 out of 10 - better than the last one, but no way as good as the first, and I officially have no love for 3D conversions. Do it in "proper" 3D, like Avatar, or don't bother.

I was in a pretty OK mood, ready to make this post... and then the shitty old carpets on the stairs decided it was time to try and kill someone in this house again - watch those last two, maybe three steps; they're evil. I didn't break anything - hopefully - but I now have a left forearm that hurts (thankfully not my mouse-hand), just after recovering from those fucking nettles...

Guess an early night is on the cards. I think I'll be glad I've started reading Equal Rites.
