You realise you missed the 9pm deadline, don't you? I will be lenient this time as you are a great Tasker, but try and be more prompt next week. I will update the table later today.

Oh bugger I did not realise that. Curses this is going to be troublesome.


Anyhow I do live in a world Heratige City (Bath), so surely me just walking about town counts as the big day out, I can even take some photos of the lovely sites.

Edit* Will a trip to watch the mighty Bristol Rovers count?

No, but a visit to the infamous Roman Baths would.

But the football is a day out.

Do you watch Bristol Rovers play every week?

I will allow it then. It is a funfilled outing. I would have been less inclined to allow it if you saw them play regularly.

Thinking of taking the dog there today, not sure if it's a heritage site or anything, it's a woods with a river and few lakes that the dog can go in.

I did, until 2009, its been a very strange year.

I think you forgot to add the points for my painting taskmaster! I should have 2 tallys under "hard task's".

Fishponds Road?

I did a little digging and you are in luck.

Fishponds Road is in Holwood Park:

'An 18th and 19th century landscape park originally of 83 hectares but reduced in size in 1953 to 50 hectares.'

As long as you explore the area a bit and soak up the history, this is a task get in the making.

I will fix this and any other table errors when I get home this evening! It may be that I gave you the points but didn't update the tasks columns.

One day, they'll do a television biography on you Mocky, Gryff Rhys Jones or somebody asking 'What is it that motivates the mysterious message-board maestro?' Alas, poor showing by myself last week and I cannot promise this week's tasks will be fulfilled either; the Kevin Bacon one in particular is already filling me with feelings of dread - but on the upside, if I remain indolent, at least the forum will be spared my atrocious poetry.

For the seven deadly scenes task, can i take one picture to encapsulate more than one of the sins?

And should we keep to the rules of above the waist images?

Sure, you can use 1 photo for more than 1 sin, if it is relevant and makes sense.

And yes, above the waist images are advised.

Taskmaster wrote:Furthermore, I realise that not everyone has the ability to download films, or maybe they are morally against it. I will therefore make the Kevin Bacon task a little easier. You can do 3 degrees of ANY actor. But it must be done properly. And no, you do not have to watch them in a specific order, (I'd prefer it if you did) but they must all link back to one film and one actor. I will also allow 1 of the films to be a film you've seen before.

Did my first day of meditation. I just kind of sat in the this Zazen (http://www.meditationexpert.co.uk/Zazen.html) position for some time while in the shower.

... clear the mind and reach a state of relaxation

Mind was clear and I felt relaxed. The constant stream of water from the shower only helped the relaxation.

I think I'll have a go at some of these this week...

Good.

You're gonna have to go for maximum points if you wish to catch up with pros like myself....

I am going to start off with a Few Good Men, in my Kevin Bacon challange, see I am even keeping the Kevin Bacon film, as a show of respect due to my lateness (which I really did totally miss) So 2nd film could be any Tom cruise film that I have not seen, which is helpful as its Tom Cruise week on sky Movies, ideally I want to aim for the wrestler as my film 6. Though watching 6 films in a week where a new Halo is out is going to be mighty tough.

As for replacing an item of Clothing, I really have no clue at all about. I have a favourite work shirt, I suppose I could get a new one..

Some tough ones for me this week Mocky, seeing as I don't have a camera or any means to travel to an attraction.

That just leaves the meditation*, creative writing and six degrees tasks.
