This will probably be the last of the nice weather - these things are never meant to last, and around these parts, they never do. "Hot and sunny", says the forecast - yeah, hot and sunny for bloody South-East Englandshire, not the rest of us mere mortals...

I have no idea what is "planned" for this weekend, except for more hints that my overflow of stuff needs addressed. That it does, I freely admit - see Mission 101 Task 53
53 - Deal with my "overflow" of crap
- but every time it could be being dealt with, there seems to be some other essential task that drags on and on. I wonder how much of the next two days will actually get used for something constructive - and if I was to take a week off, just to "decompress", how much of that would be messed up? I actually haven't had an extended weekend since The Move - dare I try it...?

And could I used one of those days to deal with some other Tasks? I'm pretty sure I can get myself a *SCORE* on Task 73
73 - See a binturong in the flesh
All that needs is a few non-wet, non-windy days in a row--

Guess that's that plan knackered then.

Elsewhat... Well, that's it - we sold the car, that brave little Thunderbird 2 wannabe that worked so damn hard on "Lock The Door Day". It was just sitting parked, getting rained on - now, it becomes a friend's first wheels. Hooray!

Thinking of adjourning to the bedroom. It'll be a whole lot cooler there. Pity my entertainment options just got buggered AGAIN as the laptop reminds me again of its unresolved "reboot allergy" - another piece of business left undone in the weekend maelstrom.

Still... Doctor Who finale tomorrow, and a chance to watch Star Trek in HD on Sunday. Wheeeee...!

There, there - it's not so bad.

The S-U-N was out again when I left work today. Two days in a row - it can't last, and it won't (beyond three days, it seems). Sadly. Not being "glass half empty"; just tellin' it like it is.

So, what else is there...? A new Windows 7 PC at work, which I'll be getting to grips with tomorrow - hardly thrilling...
- I think there'll be an opening for a story post at the weekend...
- TWO days to the Doctor Who season finale - gonna be fun to see how THIS all works out...

It's a warm evening, perhaps too warm for trying to string coherent thoughts together. Now I know where the time goes - I sleep through a big chunk of it.

I've been writing pretty frequently about one Mission 101 Task in particular, and that's
85 - ...and make my own books!
Today, I write something I've sometimes thought I never would, when addressing this particular Task...

SCORE.



- A7 size, 96 pages, glued and blanket-stitched cover, with a double layer of repurposed leather from the back of an old office chair. It's not the masterpiece I'd intended, or the main version I've been struggling with for the last month or so, but it meets the conditions, and I intend to do more.

Also today... We had sun. We had maybe 25 degrees C. I sat on the pier and watched the sun on the water. Life was good.

More please.

That's better.

Yeah, I'm rather glad to see the back of this weekend past. It ended with a near "crash-and-burn" for my book-binding Mission 101 Task, as the piece I've been working on went messily wrong, and I retreated to the bed-room to catch the football on the radio, rather than risk pushing my luck.

Today, things went better. I got my new ID card, and that means discounts at several Mission-relevant outlets in town, whilst the book-binding was salvaged somewhat as I switched to my back-up project, and made substantial progress - some gluing, some sewing, and it will be DONE. And that, as far as I'm concerned, will count as a Task *SCORE*.

Now, I just need another Task to complete before the end of the week, and I should be able to hold my head up for a change, come end-of-the-month report time. Oh, hold on - what about
52 - Complete some craft projects I've started
- that continual thorn in my side? I finish off one modified garment, and that, too, is a *SCORE*!

And finally... Holy sZQt - is summer here...?
