88. Make my own item of clothing

Slightly loose definition on this one but still counts, I think?

#3. Draw every day for 2 weeks

I did finish this a while ago but it’s taken me a bit of time to add these pictures. So from a really terrible start I think I have improved a bit over the 14 days. It was both a help (and pointed out some of my glaring failures) having 2 art teachers as housemates but their input has helped me out.

Enjoy :-/

#80. Take part in a trail run

Took part in the Men’s Fitness Survival of the Fittest 2014 housed in grounds of the iconic Wembley Stadium. The 10km race was pretty tough and a lot more epic than I thought it would be with about 20 tough obstacles including some crazy high walls and a 1.5km run up a river.

Timing and placing below:

01:09:59
Overall : 188 / 5900
Gender : 181 / 4137
Categ : 6 / 189

Some terrible quality – Video proof

Another Massive three!

#27. Shoot a gun of some kind

This was a bit of a long time coming as I got the voucher for clay pigeon shooting for my birthday. However, Elliot, Simon and me headed up to High Barnet to go shooting. It was really enjoyable and we all did really well but sadly I came last getting 20 out of 50.

#57. Take a life drawing class

This was great fun, if not a little tough at least I wasn’t totally terrible. Really glad I’ve given this one a go.

#95. Get into the audience of a tv show

At the Channel 4 Upfronts conference we got to sit in on the guys from “the last leg”.

#41. Host a party & #79. Jump on a pogo stick

2 more down, but the photo evidence for both is rather poor.

#41. Host a party

Last night (7th Nov) we had a bit of a gathering of people (mainly to get rid of the home brew). It was great fun and we even pulled out some fireworks for that added bit of excitement.

#79. Jump on a pogo stick

As mentioned the pictures for this are pretty lame, but mainly because we were in Hamley’s and had to sneak a couple of really quick pictures trying not to get kicked out.

#65. Brew my own beer

A while in the making, but well worth it. This one is finally, fully brewed and labelled up ahead of a tasting on Friday. If anyone see’s this and can make north London on Friday night you’re welcome some free beer.

Enjoy some of the pictures of the brew process.

#53. Look through a telescope at the stars/moon

This was brilliant and quite eventful “Evening with the Stars”. Jim and I after making our way from East Finchley to London Bridge, happily jumped on a train bound we thought was headed for Greenwich, half way through the journey we realised we were on the wrong train, thankfully it stopped at Blackheath which was a only 1.3 mile run away! Luckily we made it in time a little bedraggled and sweaty.

First we had a very interesting planetarium talk and then went onto the 28″ telescope, built in 1893. We were told that we had one of the best nights they’d had in years, visibility wise. We got some fantastic views of the moon very close up and I also got to see a binary star system.

Really enjoyable evening
