101 Things in 1001 Days, 1 year in

I wrote in July about my Day Zero list, in which I have 101 goals which I aim to accomplish in 1001 days, beginning September 1 2014. That means I'm now just over a year in, with 609 days remaining until the end of the 1001 day period. In the last blog I shared the 11 items which I had completed so far, and since then I have completed another six, with 25 more marked 'in progress'.

Now completed:

4. Attend my 100th concert
10. Meet up with my high school friends

15. Visit Edinburgh in Fringe season
This year I went to Edinburgh not once, but twice to see Fringe shows. I wrote a blog about the first of those trips here, and on the second trip I went to see The Addams Family Musical, a musical revue entitled Shitfaced Showtime, comedians Ed Byrne and Mae Martin, an improvised Sherlock Holmes play, a one-woman play called Bette Davis Ain't For Sissies and a dome cinema show, bringing the total number of shows attended to 11.




23. See a comedy show
As above, I saw two comedy shows at the Fringe Festival.

29. Go on a road trip

Also at the Fringe, I saw both Grease and the Addams Family.
