Catch-up

I've been lazy and busy but mostly too lazy to post anything here for ages. But I have been keeping notes that I'd intended to write up properly. But instead, I'll just post the notes. Here they are:

104: Van, parked outside work, Tuesday 25, 1700.
105: Saturday 29, driving up leeeman road, 1525
106: Monday 31, bottom of Leeman Road, 1615
107: Thursday 03 Feb, Lorry, end of Coney St. 1230ish. Same one I saw on Monday when I needed a 106.
108: Monday 07, 1745 outside NRM.
109: Thursday 17, 1825 On Stonebow on the way to KT Tunstall. Taxi

111: Saturday 19, 1100 Outside flat in car park
112: Saturday 19, 1230 Euro Car Park, Leeman Road (Initially seen earlier, prior to the 111)
113: Sunday 20, 1555 parked on way back from Tesco in Clifton somewhere

And that's all for now!

Start of the old actuarial exams

As hoped, now that I've made it past the 100 mark, I've picked up on spots a little bit, with two (!) in the last two days, both on Leeman Road. Long may this continue.

On Tuesday morning, I saw 101 at 18 minutes to 9, at the top end of St Peter's Quarter. It was a white van, whose dirt level was not too high. Though it could have been cleaner. White vans can always be cleaner. 102 appeared to me by the tunnel, as I was on my way to the Amsterday gig last night. So that would have been at around ten to eight.

Today I am going to get 103 to 109. Really! Look, there in the sky! Piiiiiigggggggssssss!

Ten per cent!

And so it came to pass that after seven months and twenty five days, Lint finally reached the 10% mark in the stupid, evil game of CNPS.

Lovely 100 outside Lloyds TSB at half past twelve.

Sometimes I wish I'd never started this... But it's too late to stop now.

The end of double digits

I didn't manage to reach 100 before New Year. I haven't even reached 100 yet. This update will only take me to 99. So near...

I found 98 in Harrogate back on the 2nd January. Then it was a whole 10 days until seeing 99 in the EuroCarpark at 9am this morning. This level of progress is abysmal. Way too slow. At this rate I'll be approximately 866 years old by the time I finish.

I really hope that once I get into triple figures, things will speed up a little. Please.
