My 'already in the bucket list'

In 2008, I watched the movie 'The Bucket List' and I, like many started thinking about making up my own list of things to do before I die. I sat down and decided to write. Lists don't come easy to me I know, but I never thought that something so nice, would feel so difficult. I made a few notes, and then I realised that I have a small problem in saying what I want. In fact it is more of a problem in 'knowing' what I want. So I decided to turn it around and make a list of all the spectacular things that I have done/ experienced. This list was far easier to write, and on stumbling on it the other night I thought it would be good for me to share it, so here it is!

Bungee jumped off Gourits river bridge
Ran the Comrades, Two Oceans and Karoo Ultra Marathons
Took a photo for Jerry Hall
Hiked the Fish River Canyon
Did a circus trapeze in Cape Waterfront

Skied in Swiss Alps
Rocked live with INXS, David Bowie, Live and many many more
