Okay, that's the last full month over and done with - and in the space of one week, there have been several successes!
The source for my SCOREs had been a five-night, six-day trip to London, which has given me a total length of "away from home" time to Task 22 - Spend one full week away from home. I already knew that another Task was guaranteed for success during the trip - Task 27 - See one stage show a year - when we went to see the truly incredible War Horse - the film is excellent, but it just doesn't compare to the stage show, which convinced Spielberg to go ahead with the movie.
Go see it. You will not be disappointed.
Third SCORE was Task 72 - See an aardvark in the flesh. The fast-asleep flesh, at London's Regents Park Zoo. Twice...
Pity the two of them don't count double. I'm starting to see a pattern now - the animals I go specially to see are asleep - remember the binturongs in Edinburgh (Task 73)? - and I will always get a photo of a tiger's backside, vanishing into the undergrowth...
Other progress hasn't been so easy to come by, however, but over the next couple of days, I intend to see just what I can achieve in what little time is left. Fifty-one completed tasks - half-way - remains the target, but I am already preparing for the inevitable penalty pay-out of Task 82 - Give £1 to charity for every task not completed, and an additional £10 for every 10 not completed. Fifty tasks not completed equals a £100 pay-out, and with the £10 I gave to the zoo's tiger preservation programme, I have paid out the princely sum of £11. I need to ascertain which Tasks definitely won't get done, and start paying out for them pretty soon if Task 82 is to be finished on time - and the completion of that could end up saving me £10.
I feel a time-loop coming on.
In Closing... Next stop, boys and girls - the final round-up. I am still considering my "gap year" project, which I will most likely start at New Year, in an attempt to make up for the time "thrown into the grinder" by moving house.
Keep the faith, people!
