Considering I have never painted anything before (apart from the odd bit of interior decorating), this one felt like a daunting challenge which is why I have attempted it early in the year.
I decided to chuck myself fully into this one and had a go at 3 paintings, being and odds game I thought I would get at least one salvageable piece to put on the wall…
To my utter surprise the outcome has not been totally sh*t! Hurrah…
The fruits of my labour are below.
Big update this time around and despite suffering with man flu I’ve smashed through 4 big’ns off the list!
#58 – Complete a puzzle
This one took a while and the help of pretty much everyone whose come round the lad pad in the last 3weeks. I completed the Poundland, 1000 piece, sexy lady puzzle – yes you read that right! What an achievement…
#15 Visit the Tate / #16 Take the Emirates Sky thing
Whilst my parents were down at the weekend we managed to tick off another two beauts, visiting the Tate and riding that Emirates Air-line thing. Both where actually really cool and it was great to do them with the rentals. Pics below.
#10 – Read a book on Greek Mythology
Annddd finally, I have completed this one, despite having started it at christmas (it’s taken a little while to get through it). There was some really interesting insights from the book and a surprising amount of similarities to Jeudo-Christian “religion”. There’s and old and new version of the mythology, there are evil serpents, biblical floods and lots of heroes and demons.
That’s it for me!
It’s been a long weekend but thankfully I’ve managed to complete #84.
The location was on the Chichester Harbour near the quaint village of Itchenor near Portsmouth, on a long walk as part of the Urban Family Christmas. It was a little bizarre to be celebrating christmas again on a warm March weekend but I was cordially invited to join in this age old tradition. The weekend was a whole heap of fun with much boozing, walking and laughing.
Excellent!
With a little naked cameo from my housemate Jim, I have completed another one of my challenges. That makes 8 so far and it’s March already, damn I better pick up my game otherwise I’m never going to complete this list.
