Day 202 - Howdy Y'all!

Today there was 50/50 weather... on one side of the sky there were dark grey clouds and on the other, clear blue skys. This is a picture of the clouds over the Mourne Mountains moving towards my house.So I can tick another one off! This one excites me a lot!!

#11. Buy a cowboy hat.

Woop woop! This is me in my new cowboy hat! It arrived this morning! I'm happy!

Day 155 - I Love Manual Mode!!

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky."
Rabindranath Tagore

I love this quote. Its full of optimism and it kinda sums up my life at the moment. So there's some stuff that might happen that seem like big storm clouds, but in the reality, they make me who I am, form what I will be. :)
Yes. The sky really did look like this this evening! :D Twas so pretty! So I don't know why I don't use manual mode more often, it always brings the best results. I took pictures of the sky in manual tonight and I'm really pleased with the results!!

Day 26 - Unimprovisedly Is Not A Word...

Well I guess I can cross one off my Spade List!

#13. Win a fight at karate.

I know what you're thinking... come on Jo... that's not at all ambitious, I thought the Spade List was about doing COOL stuff! Yeah, I agree, it wasn't ambitious. I did win a fight at karate, and it was only my second fight since writing that on my Spade List. I guess "win a fight at karate" is very vague. Maybe I should have written -

#13. a) Regularly win fights at karate.

and/or

#13. b) Fight at national level.

and/or

#13. c) Start fighting skillfully (i.e. use tactics rather than just improvise)

To be honest, I am never going to fight at national level this year, unless I do suddenly regularly win fights (in which I fight tactfully, skillfully and unimprovisedly) at karate. Next saturday (6th Feb) I am going to observe/help out at a national competition so that will be fun! I would also like to take this oppurtunity to wish my good buddy good luck for the European Championships he's fighting at next week - WE LOVE YOU BOOMS! GOOD LUCK!
