Week three - Challenge one - completed!

For many a year, as I said last week, I have heard bits of "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck but have never actually read the book.  This last week I sat down and read it.  Whilst its not really to my taste the ending took me by surpruse and left me feeling really sad for humanity.  I won't spoil the ending for anyone who has not read it yet - suffice it to say I am glad that I have read it.

So - now its onto challenge two - learn how to play chess.  I have downloaded the moving patterns of each piece and am practising with an app on my ipad.

Meanwhile I am waiting for the rain to come - today can't decide - and am on a slimming world diet.  The 12 stone challenge is more of a long term aspiration!

week two - waiting for the rain!

Looking at my list of challenges to complete I decided to start on two - reading "Of mice and men" and dancing in the rain - possibly naked if I dare.  The first I have started - its heavy going and I'm not enjoying it so far but its been a book thats surrounded me for much of my working life so I want to know what the fuss is about.

The second is dancing naked in the rain - sure there's been plenty of rain but there just hasn't been the opportunity (or the darkness) to achieve this one.  Never mind - there's still next week!
