I made three posts in early 2013 detailing some targets I had for the upcoming year, and all of them started well but fizzled out after I stopped smoking for some reason. I feel that if I acknowledge my mistakes, I can learn from them and improve myself. Here is my appraisal of the creative targets I set myself in…

Out with Jane in the car again, drove past our local Dalek hobbyist - check this out. A Dalek with a Santa hat on. Amaze x 2.

Exterminate!

OMG, we saw a Dalek outside someone's house today! Apparently Jane has driven past when the garage has been open and there are a few part-made Daleks in there as well. Amaze.
