35. Went to an adult Roller Disco

I have to say, there is not much to report back on this one.

Like many people, I went to a Roller Disco to see if I could still roller skate and I couldn't (well, I could, but badly).

It's another thing to add to the list but not something I'll be doing again : s

34. Performed in YouMeBumBumTrain

For those of you that don't know about this show, it is basically an unusual theatre show where lots of volunteers make up the experience you have.

I wanted to volunteer because I know various people that have done it before and have said how much fun it is.

It was really cool because I got involved in a different scene each day and got to meet lots of cool volunteers from all types of backgrounds.

If you are interested, it has three shows left and you can sign up here:  https://wellinformed.wufoo.com/forms/r7p1k7/

If your not sure, just do it, you won't regret it : )

33. Tried black pudding

Being of Scottish descendent, I have tried over the years to come accustomed to traditional scottish food and drinks (because I had always wished I was born in Scotland and love that it's part of my family's history).  Two of my favourite in the past have been Irn Bru and Flat Scottish sausage, mmmmmm!

Swede is never going to be my friend and Veal also does not seem right for me.  However, Haggis grew on mine, it just took a bit of growing up and a change in my taste buds : p

The one thing that for years I have been uncomfortable with trying is black pudding (made of blood : s).  I have been offered it before and have either said no or have just left it sitting on the plate.  But today, for some reason, I decided to try it with my big breakfast.

I have to say it is like a strong sausage (it looks like one and is meaty) and not at all tasting of blood in the way I thought it would.  I am not sure I would have it all the time, but it was nice to have something different on the plate and an option for the future.

I feel as time goes on I am becoming more scottish in my blood - yay, my plan is working : )

32. Completing several Band Hero songs on Medium level with my left hand

I have been right handed all my life, but due to my gran being ambidextrous (and me thinking it is rather cool and useful), I have over the years tried to learn to do more things with my left hand (my gran also had a stroke later in life and was able to use her right hand once her left hand became in active).

In general, I'm pretty rubbish.  The main things that I seemed to be good at was badminton and tennis, where I wasn't as strong as my right sweeps but I wasn't bad.

Anyway, more recently, I have tried playing guitar hero with my right and left hand, changing sides when one hand gets tired of pressing the buttons, lol.

Yesterday, was the first time EVER that I achieved several songs in a row playing left handed and I am really chuffed with myself.  It is very difficult because you have to do everything backwards and force your brain to think differently, but it is cool!

Below is a picture of the highest score I got in medium yesterday which is just under 80% (not bad for someone who is not left handed : P)

31. Winning money at the races

I have only been to the races only once before and pretty much, didn't really understand what I was doing.

This time, I decided to get advice and knowledge from some of the people with me and made three bets.  Two of mine were to guess winners/placers in 6 different races and the other was a two way bet (I think that's what they call it) on a winner (means you get money if they get within the first three places and if they win).

I made my choices very carefully and on the first two bids, lost (one I guessed 3 placed horses, but not the second 3).  But then on my last bet and the last race of the day, I won : )

Last Sovereign was the winning horse, of the last race at New Market Racecourse and with a £5 bet I won just under £25 : )  No bad for a newbie : )

(This is a picture of another race I watched on the day, as the one for my winning horse wasn't as good)

30. Writing a blog for someone else's website

Whilst I was away in Oxford, I was told by an individual that they would like me to write a weekly technology blog for their website.

So during the three weeks, I wrote a few entries (which will be going up in the next few weeks), about various apps and digital packages/products that people might be interested to hear about.

6 days ago, my first blog went up live on the internet and here it is:

http://www.risetv1.com/The+Worlds+Cheapest+Tablet+On+the+Market+

It may only be on a small website, but it will help me with my writing portfolio and help me to get back on the horse in this area of work : )

29. Trying Seabass

I have to say, I tried it but could not finish it (had about a third) : s

At least I can say I tried it and didnt like it instead of not trying it at all.
