29 Geocache

I've heard of this before and was really keen to do it so much so that I signed up for the year once I had the app!

I've been out three times in the last couple of weeks, once with Vikki, once with my parents and finally with my mum! on two occasions I found caches but on the third occasion there were too many muggles about to get close!

This is the first ever cache me and Vikki found!

This is the second one we found which is 'in full view' when you know where to look.

And this is the third one I found when I was out with my Mum and Dad.

If you want to get involved head along to http://www.geocaching.com/ and join the fun!

11. Save every 50p from now until 31st August

So I got about £10 in total plus a few other silver coins.

3. Celebrate an obscure holiday and go all out

For this one of the list I had to do a bit of research to find a holiday and I couldn't believe it when I found this day as it is perfect...

13th August is International Left Handers Day! (it is an actual day, here is the website to prove it: http://www.lefthandersday.com/)

And I am left handed! so it couldn't have been more perfect!

This morning I made some decorations (I do have to say they were make shift but the best I could do as I nearly forgot and it added to the fun) and took them into work and announced I was celebrating today!

At lunchtime I gave them some interesting facts about left handed people, some of the best are below:

• Recover from strokes faster
• Draw figures facing to the right
• Make up between 5% and 10% of the population (depending on who you ask)
• 4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer were left-handed
• 1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left-handed – 250% more than the normal level.

And then when I visited the gym this evening I did some exercises just with my left hand

 And finally I celebrated with a cream scone and a cup of tea!

35. Go to a gig of a new/unknown band

I actually did this a few weeks ago when I cycled out to the Foxton Locks festival, I saw a number of bands on the afternoon of Saturday 21st June.

I have no idea of their names but they were all good and I had a great time just enjoying the weather, people watching and an icecream!

44. Spend the day with my Dad

My dad is a little harder to pin down for the whole day but I did it on Friday 8th August. All three of us when shopping in Grimsby, had lunch in Louth which was flooded in areas and we went out for dinner in the evening! 

5. Read George Owell's 1984

I really enjoyed 1984, it was a really good read and I can't believe some of the things he thought about back then which have happened but in a slightly different way.

I found it easy to get into which I wasn't expecting because other people had said it would take a while but I think as I was reading it during my week of no telly I was able to give it more time than I might have done.

Definitely recommend it because it is a classic!

48. Go on a picnic

When I spent the day with my mum with took a light lunch and drinks to Hubbard Hills to have as a picnic. The weather was lovely and we even saw a little rabbit who was bold enough to come out of the under growth.
