The continuing voyages of 99 Days: bits and bobs

It would seem that onions are truly British or in the very least love the british summer. They were not looking too good in the green house so moved them outside and they're loving it!

However as you can see there was an issue... my BIG TIP for any gardening... think first and take your time with the seeds. Otherwise you'll spend hours thinning the crop and replanting.

On a brighter note I got to do my first window display at a library, a true sign I am in the right place 

Basic I know but with only a printer to work with its a start. Hands up who knows where Aylestone Library is? I hear it was used as a morgue in the war....

Now I'm off to try completing a level or two of Dungeon Defenders solo style... just to see if I can

96: Tuesday 27th September 2011

I am in shock! Two good days in a row with only a little annoyance (chores and a url headache).

This morning I did my first shift as a library assistant and was amazed at how community orientated Highfields library is. Learning all the processes that make a library work is fascinating.

This I followed up with a local Magic tournament (magic the gathering that is). But disaster nearly struck!!! With an hour to go I discovered it was a standard tournament and most my cards didn't qualify! 

Luckily I was convinced to buy a deck there and then, and quickly add a few of my own cards that did qualify, and you know what? It was kind of worth the £11(ish) as I came 7th out of 25 and there was some serious players! Well 'chuffed' and very shocked. Got a funky card too... Sun Quan, lord of wu.

Even caught up with an old relative so an epic win for the day.

Score 8/10: It doesn't matter who you are its nice to achieve something in your hobby and be able to compete with peers

up tomorrow... having a tooth removed at the hospital...

97: Monday 26th September 2011

Wow. This is a day I liked! 

Skill up: My first day training as a library assistant was not as scary as I thought it would be and the computer system is amazingly similar to stuff I've already worked with, and I can't wait for tomorrow, my first day at Highfields Library.

Discovery: Did you know that Grimsby Chippy on Welford road has invented Dry salt and vinegar? Very nice taste to it and I don't even like vinegar. Yet I haven't the foggiest how they did it... ...

Lot's of my to do list went wrong (thanks to local and big government) but nothing can beat learning something new.

Score 8.5/10: he/she/ those who dares really do win! it's fantastic. just try stuff, stumble onto new things, dream!
