I'm getting a bit cross with people talking about my bucket list. As I said earlier, my list of things to do is about keeping me busy and stimulated, not things I need to do before I die. I've actually done quite a lot of them at some point in my life, but I'd like to try again. If you don't believe me, this is me paragliding:
I'd love to have another go. This was in Nepal, above Pokhara, and eagles came to fly close because they knew you were on the thermals.
I've had a lovely sociable weekend with family and some very old friends, and am intensely aware of being lucky. I actually heard some of "Thought for the Day" - normally I either switch off the radio or mentally tune it out - and the speaker said something about the best way to honour your parents being to visit their friends, and having had such a nice weekend it struck a chord. So I phoned one of my mother's friends, and next time I'm up in the north east, I'll visit her. It isn't much to do, but better than nothing.
