Task: Attend an auction.

What my spreadsheet says: The last auction I went to was back when a baby grand piano was up for grabs at Hoylake Auction Rooms, and it went for about six times what our upper limit was and instead Dad bought an old trunk full of junk for £2. Then he asked the person who bought the piano whether they wanted rid of the one they had, and they did, and we got the upright that lives in the front room to this day. Anyway, that's besides the point; I want to go to an auction of interesting things.

More Details: I did go to one of those ridiculous closed-door auctions where they try to whip you up into a frenzy to get you to spend overinflated sums of money on knockoff tat, but the level of cynisicm in the room was so high they finished it early and turfed everybody out.

One off task? Yes.

Measurable? Yes, by doing it and blogging about it.
