Thus the most recent of my ground-shattering achievements comes to its conclusion. It's been a project of varying success, I feel, but overall it's gone alright. The main concern with this one was that the principal intention (viz. writing one article per day) remained intact. And so it has! It's been a very active period, really, what with the arrival and sinking of the Black Pearl, the appearance of the Blogship Lollipop and my heroic rescue thereto. Previously I'd discovered something of a liking for Star Trek: The Next Generation, and later on, after Mr. Brown's retirement, my joining of Facebook. My musical life has also been scantily documented, and I've been entrusted with designing and building a second website. And on a fairly more downbeat note, my grandad fell ill (although briefly) and had to make his début sleeping over here. But, plenty of action, you will no doubt agree.

Just a few things I overlooked in my Musical Extravaganzas series: I helped start a short-lived band called The Lure with a few chaps from High School whom I met at the first rehearsal; I taught a girl how to play the bass; and, I briefly taught a slightly more older lawyer the rudiments of classical guitar. I'm sure I've forgotten many more joys, which I will present as and when they are remembered.

But, as for now, we head out of this flaming chapter and into the next. Which I designate as my OU U211 eTMAs chapter - by which I mean that, like I did with my assignments for my first Open University course, I will publish my assignments for my previous course 'U211 - Exploring the English Language', all seven of them, in the order I did them, and as they were delivered to my tutor (as far as that's possible, mind you). These seven I plan to publish over the next two days, and then snap straight out of that chapter on Wednesday to start another, in which I plan to exert the bare minimum of effort that I can get away with!
