Trying out the Fifty in Fifty challenge!

I haven't written much on the blog recently. I tell myself I'm busy with other things, and then I go and have about four kips every day.

This is unacceptable! Therefore, I will be undertaking drastic measures. I will henceforward partake in the Fifty in Fifty challenge.

I'm probably not going to answer them in order, but I'll update as and when I have completed them with a link to the post.

Afterwards, maybe I'll even do the next set of prompts. One step at a time.
