Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present to you... trees.

Tree 1
Image

This tree, found in Weston Park in Sheffield, is directly outside the lab I'll be working in for the next three and a bit years. I'll be seeing a lot of this old girl.

Tree 2
Image
Image

The first photo is the rather inspiriting view out of my bedroom window. The second picture is a close-up of the only greenery in view. This tree improves the view no end.


Tree 3
Image

A picture of the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin, Washington DC. When I went over to the States to see my girlfriend (who was living there at the time) we decided on a whim to go to Washington DC. Turns out we were there right in the middle of the annual blossoming of the cherry blossoms. This tree represents our reunion.

And in case the cynics among you were thinking I'd just lifted it off Google...

That's me looking incredibly cool and casual.

In other news, I bought a bag of modelling balloons but I can't even blow them up. :oops:

Mockmaster, I joined a TF2 vent I'd not been in for maybe 6 months and said hi / generally caught up. Does this count? :oops: :oops:

If it was roughly 6 months or more, and it was more than a brief hello, I will allow it. :)

I've also started a dialogue with a guy I worked with on my placement year a couple of years back. So that's Reach Back complete as well.

Mocky, of which I shall now call you Tasky, does entering oneself in this thread constitute Winner Takes It All?

Sykes and I have both made that claim, but wanted to know whether it was allowed.

I will not accept that as a Task GET! Good thinking though.

Oh man, I'm totally in for this.

I've already done the 'get in touch with someone' task, as I've arranged to meet a lady friend from Uni who I've not talked to since then to meet for dinner in London.

Does Bang Goes The Theory count as a documentary? If so, I've completed the iPlayer task.

Task GET!

It brings a great feeling of warmth at all these people getting in touch with long lost friends and acquaintances.

By chance? That was quite a coincidence. This would certainly count as a pass.

Is there a prize involved that you can win? If so, it counts.

I sent an e-mail to a friend I haven't seen in about two years, to see if he has a IM account to get back in touch with.

As long as he replies, that's a GET!, right?
