I am approaching one of THOSE milestone birthdays. The ones you can seem looming ahead for five years, pointing and laughing as you edge ever nearer. I am, I'm sad* to say, teetering on the very precipice of fifty with just six months lying between me and tumbling into the abyss.
Not that I feel 50 on the inside. On the outside? Well, that's an entire other blog post ....
But I have, because I can, put together a bucket list of things I would like to do before I reach the dizzying heights of the Big Five Oh
I thought, obviously, as I've only got until November, a limited budget and the rest of the family's, frankly quite selfish, needs to get on with their own lives, my bucket list should be realistically scaled.
And then I thought: Bugger that...

40: Understand.
41: Dave Grohl.
42: Twerk.
43: Wear a pinny.
44: Re-read The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, give up on The Silmarillion after the first chapter. Again.
