Number 97: Knit my own pair of socks

After a failed first attempt to knit a pair of socks about a year ago (where I ended up with an ill-fitting Christmas-stocking type monstrosity), I finally got around to a second attempt.

I decided to start afresh with a new pattern (this one from Ravelry), which was relatively easy to follow - even for a complete novice.  Although, I think turning heels will always baffle me and cause me to lob my knitting across the room.

All in all I'm pretty chuffed with the results though and I'm sure I'll give them another go in the future, but maybe not for a little while...

Number 57: Complete my interrail scrapbook

The summer of the first year of uni, which is longer ago than I care to admit, I went inter-railing with a few friends.  We took a totally crazy route, got stuck in Switzerland unexpectedly and managed not to lose anyone along the way.

I started to collate all my photos and paraphernalia when we got back and then got sidetracked for about six years...  Before Christmas, I finally got around to finishing it off and spent a lovely day reminiscing about our travels.

 

Number 19: Discover 10 new restaurants - Yo! Sushi

At the end of November, I headed down to Plymouth to go annoy my sister instead for the weekend, giving my parents a well-deserved rest from me.

Yo! Sushi was the plan for Saturday lunchtime, which I'd previously always been slightly intimidated by - how does it work?!  Luckily my sister is well-versed in sushi conveyor belts and showed me the ropes.  She also convinced me to try out katsu curry for the first time - converted.

Although it's not the cheapest, the food was delicious and its Plymouth location is the perfect people watching spot.
