Number 84: Go swimming in the sea

Recently, I went on holiday to Pefkos in Rhodes with some friends.  This meant that I got the chance to swim in the beautifully clear Aegean Sea.  Number 84 done.

Number 75: Buy a “new to me” car

I've had the same car since I was 18 and I completely love my beat up little red micra.  With my sister moving home for the year though, she was in dire need of transportation, both to get to work and to allow her some element of freedom (hello living in the middle of nowhere).  So, it was decided that I should surrender little Mike the micra and get something a little (only a little mind!) substantial.  Maybe even with power steering - amazing!

After lots of scary test drives in rickety cars we finally found a dark green Honda Jazz, which was pretty much perfect.  Disclaimer - this was definitely a "payment plan" situation, my parents are extraordinarily generous.

Number 19: Discover 10 new favourite restaurants - Bill's

I know that I'm pretty late to the party but I'm loving Bill's at the moment!  I'd never come across them until I moved to Cambridge, but since then I seem to come across branches everywhere I go!

I really like the laid back atmosphere, the rustic décor and the deli feel.  The food's always been great (the ginger and blackcurrant smoothies are a winner) and the service has been good, even when I freaked the staff out by eating alone!

Bill's holds some good memories so far - the first drinks out with my new colleagues in Cambridge, a solo work trip to Salisbury and an impromptu reunion in Manchester (their first "northern" branch).

So, whilst there may be nothing extraordinary about Bill's I still love it and hopefully there'll be lots more good memories to add to those that I've already collected there.  

You've got to love a restaurant that hands out healthy snacks...

Number 17: Watch 10 Audrey Hepburn films - Breakfast at Tiffany's

This weekend, I couldn't find anything that I wanted to watch on iPlayer, 4OD, itvPlayer, Demand5... (you get the idea!), so instead I thought I'd re-watch Breakfast at Tiffany's.

This is the first time that I've watched the film since reading the book - I'd forgotten how different they are (I love them both though!).  If you're at a loose end, I'd highly recommend watching this again, I still love it after countless viewings!

Number 80: Go to a play

Last week, we took full advantage of the beautiful weather and decided to go to the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival.  Every year, the University college gardens are overtaken with Titanias, Prosperos and Benvolios (so Cambridge!).

We decided to go to A Midsummer Night's Dream, which was being staged in the Fellows' Garden at King's College (I'll be straight with you, this was the main draw!).  We were treated to a beautiful performance in a magical setting.

We stuffed ourselves with picnic food and pink lemonade and some of the party took advantage of the mulled wine being sold at the interval (it was getting a little chilly by this point!).

The Fellows' Garden, King;s College - fancy!

We had a fantastic evening and fully intend to go see another play (and explore another garden!) before the end of the summer.
