101 Things - The idea

So I came across this idea here and have come up with my own list.
The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).
Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

I shall be starting the list 9th September 2009 and finishing it 6th June 2012.

We drove the scenic way home from Scotland and saw the beautiful Loch Lomond. Its a shame we couldn't spend more time around the area.

No. 15 Try 10 new foods (2/10)
No. 23 Eat in 10 restaurants I have never been to before (1/10)
No.57 Go on ten ‘dates’ with my husband (1/10)

There is a little restaurant called The Loch Ness Inn near my parents house. It use to be The Lewiston where I worked on the bar at Christmas time. It stood empty for years and then last year was refurbished. Matt and I went there last week for my birthday , a lovely little cosy restaurant! It was lovely and I tried Seatrout and Aspargus. Both were lovely and will be trying them again!
