OK, I have never actually seen the film ‘The Bucket List’ but I have seen enough American films and TV shows to know that it’s basically a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. So here goes…
- Visit every single American state
- Find out about my ancestry
- Write a book
- Own a business
- Quit a job and make it the most successful job quitting there ever was.
- Be size 12 ( a sad state of affairs for women, but I do know I want to at least know how it feels to not be a whale)
- Run a marathon (probably whilst coinciding with the above)

- Smoke a cigarette with a strong coffee at an outdoor table by the Seine, hopefully whilst gazing at the Eiffel Tower
- Go to Iceland (not the supermarket) and have a bath in one of those hot outdoor lakes and breathe in the sulfuric fumes.
