Getting caught up in a traffic jam of old ladies and their walking frames this morning made me think that life is short , time is fleeting , and it’ll be My Turn Next.
With this in mind, it’s time to start doing those things I’d really like to do before I ring down the curtain and join the choir invisible like Monty Python’s dead parrot.
Top thing has to be get a flight in a flying-boat that actually involves contact with water , but I’d also like to see Van Morrison live , walk the Milford track in New Zealand , visit Mauritius and Rorke’s Drift and get together with my thirteen lady penfriends in front of Kermit Weeks’ Sunderland in Florida.
Anyone else got a list of things they’d really,really like to do before it’s too late ?

Thought a Spaniel had larger ears than a ‘Harry’? I’m just digging a bigger hole aren’t I?

Hi all. I ticked one off my list on Thursday. I watched the sun set from the ´Cafe Del Már´, Sanantonio, Ibiza. Maybe not the kind off thing on most peoples list but I would recommend it if you ever get the chance. I enjoyed it so much I am going back again. I will stick a pic on when I get back.
Anyway what am I doing on here on my holiday. I´m going back to the beach.
