Fun Monday # 52 What's in my Bucket


Tiggerlane is our hostess this week she asks "Have you heard of The Bucket List?" Well, I'm always a bit behind everyone else so no I hadn't heard of it until now, however in the past week I have heard it mentioned several times and I would really like to see this film (movie).

So back to our assignment which is to make a list of things we want to do before we die. It must be at least five items - and we can make it as long as we desire. Photos are optional. And Tiggerlane wants to hear about some of the wackiest, most bizarre to-do's on our Bucket List!

I know I did a meme that covered some of this but do you think I can find it, I clearly don't label things that well! My list is not in the least wacky or bizarre! So in no particular order...... I'm going to give you clues to places I would like to visit and tell you about things I would like to do......

1) I guess this one is easily achievable~a quick hop on the eurostar maybe!
2) I picked just one animal but I would hope to see more!
3) This is the place to visit as the sun rises. A friend of mine is going for a visit this month and I've told her to take plenty of photos as it's the closest I might get!
4) I have partially achieved this ambition as you can see when I was in Canada last year. Shall we say that gave me a taste for more of this type of adventure!
5) After watching a travel programme this is somewhere I would love to visit.
6) And so is this! I think I had better stop there with holiday destinations as I could easily go on and on......
7) I was asked if I wanted to do this when I was in San Francisco as it has long been another ambition of mine. I declined because I was a bit worried about my hip and didn't want to jeopardize the rest of my stay. Does this suggest I'm not as adventurous as I imagine I am!

8) I have always had a yen to write a novel and many years ago I started to plan a story~ you never know I might have a go but after writing my blog I think I know my limitations!

9) Now something I really am going to try my hand at is painting~ I do have all the necessary equipment and I have been meaning to start since I retired~ so what's stopping me~ blogging and trying to master photoshop!! I know just excuses rather than valid reasons!

10) Over the years I have said many times that I would like to do voluntary work overseas. Do you remember all the publicity about the Romanian orphanages back in the 80's, at the time I used to make up parcels that were taken out there by a local charity. I would really have liked to go out and work with the children back then so it's still on my list!

11) I would really like to meet up with some more of my blogging buddies and who knows that might be a possibility sometime in the future!

12) I am determined to pump up my own car tyres just once!!!!! I can hear you laughing~ the only time I ever tried I somehow managed to let the air out instead of put it in and the pressure was even lower than before!!! I can check oil and water but I know Embee likes to do that little job for me!!!

13)Finally... When my girls were young I used to worry that something would happen and I would not be around to see them reach adulthood and be happily settled. Now that I've got there I would like to be around long enough to see my grandchildren grow to adulthood. This I am sure is something that would be everyone's hope for the future!

Thirteen~ is it wise to stop there!! Yes~ I think I've prattled on for quite long enough!! See you all later but it might take me a couple of days to get around everyone.
