Despite not many goals being crossed off at the moment, there are a few that are progressing.

- For goal 1 (take a meditation class), I have found the place that I am going to do the class

- For goal 21 (learn to play bridge), I have signed up to do a weekend course at the start of February

- For goal 26 (start a business), I am currently reaching the end of an 8-week entrepreneurial course

- For goal 31 (learn the flag of every country), I have bought a book called ‘The Complete Flags of the World’

- For goal 39 (get a meaningful tattoo), I am regularly seeking the permission of my better half, Nat (so far to no avail!)

- For goal 54 (do a wine appreciation course), Nat and I are signed up to do a course in January

- For goal 56 (play in a Scrabble tournament), I have now signed up as a member of the Association of British Scrabble Players

- For goal 62 (take Nat out to dinner six months in a row), this started officially last month

- For goal 101 (volunteer for five charities), I am about to register as a volunteer for Food Chain, as well as Cats Protection

- For goal 136 (busk as a human statue), I have an idea for how I am going to tackle this one (and there are some good tips here)

- For goal 151 (do a short course in French), there is a 10-week Thursday night course that Nat and I will start in January

- For goal 180 (do 10 things from the Change the World book), I have finally bought the book!

Sometimes, even when I am not knocking goals off the list, it is nice to take a step back and realise that I am still making good progress. This is meant to be about the journey, not the destination, so right now, I am happy with where the Project is at.

Plus, I am now officially one-third of the way through the list. Here’s to the next two-thirds!
