I was thinking about things I’ve done that I generally forget I’ve done most of the time and though I’ve never really read any of those ‘100 Things to do before you Die’ type lists I imagine these are the sort of things that appear on them:
- Flown a helicopter
- Hugged a koala
- Eaten Sashimi
- Snorkelled the Great Barrier Reef
- Been to the White House
- Seen the Shrine of the Three Kings
- Written a String Quartet
- Stood on top of the World Trade Center
- Been to a Pogues gig
- Seen a whale in the wild
- Flown over the Grand Canyon
- Been to Uluru
- Driven a tank
- Stood on Table Mountain
- Sailed a yacht
- Been to Niagara Falls
- Taught myself to play guitar
- Had a holiday on a barge
- Seen Nelson Mandela’s cell on Robben Island
Things I wish were on my list:
- Being a published author
- Being able to do a backflip
- Seeing the Northern Lights

- Seeing a wild tiger
- Doing a skydive
Thing I doubt will ever be on my list:

- Watching C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate
- Being able to moonwalk
