…here’s one I made earlier

So I’ve taken up climbing. That’s pretty good – I go most every week and just got a pair climbing shoes for my birthday from my parents.

Ah well…

Okay, so this little social experiment was perhaps a little over ambisious…

So, so as not to abandon the whole project forever, I’ll turn this space into some kind of expression of all the new things I try out as they happen.

Day 7: Curry

I think we’d all better get used to the idea of my doing a fair amount of cooking, baking etc. It is easy to find a new thing to do in the kitchen and to do something new everyday requires quite a bit of hard thinking. I want to get good at cooking anyway, so this appears to be an unexpected side effect of this unconventional pursuit.

The curry was very good by the way.

Oh, and just a quick reminder: please do leave suggestions for new things for me to do.

Day 5 and 6: Music and cookies

Okay, so I didn’t do anything new on day five. To make up for it, I did two things on day six.

1. Jammed on piano with someone else on guitar. This is new: I play guitar already, but as I’m learning how to play piano this is the first opportunity I’ve had to play with another musician. James is living with us at the moment before zipping off to wales for some training on how to live and love Aborigines
2. I made white chocolate chip co0kies.

Day 4: Gig

I went to see this guy playing at an open mic night in Trof. He is really very good and quite entertaining. He is playing at Ularu in Chorlton on Sunday night if you are interested. Come along.

Day 3: Bread

I did a bit more baking and made a loaf of wholemeal bread. Very tasty it was too, though it could have used a bit more yeast.

Day 2: This blog

Enough said really. I started this blog – that was my new thing.

Day 1: Shortbread

Okay, so this is a bit odd…

My first day of these 360 started the day before I started this blog, so this a record after the fact. Obviously I made short bread. I’ll stick up a picture of them at some point.

Something new

My life doesn’t have enough adventure in it.

Consequently, I’ve decided that I’m going to do something new every day for the next 360 days. Today, it’s starting this blog – public and available for you guys and girls to follow along on my, um, journey. If you want to make suggestions for new things for me to try, your ideas will be most welcome though I can’t promise to do them all and I reserve the right not to do the ones I deem to be excruciatingly embarrassing.

Feel free to comment below with any bright ideas. I haven’t decided if I’m going to follow through on Helen’s suggestion of belly dancing…
