Roger Federer won Wimbledon yesterday, despite being near retirement age (or so it would seem judging by the over-reaction from the BBC Sport department.) So I’ve spent the morning thinking of unfulfilled ambitions that I might still get a chance to achieve before I turn 40. I set my dreams loose and didn’t try to rein them in by silly little things like reality, so here’s my Top 10:
Cycling the Tour de France route
Swimming the English Channel
Visiting every lake in the Lake District
Climbing to the top of Mount Everest
Writing a Number One hit record
Playing the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury
Going a week without pissing my wife off
Throw a 180 in darts
Meeting a member of the Royal Family
Writing a blog every day for a year
And here’s a similar, alternate, more realistic list that I might actually stand a chance of completing….
Cycling to work without collapsing
Swimming a length of our local pool
Visiting the duck pond in Southwold
Climbing the stairs to the staff room
Writing a birthday card without any spelling mistakes
Drawing a pyramid while humming
Going a week without pissing myself
Throw an 18 at darts
Meeting a member of the parish council
Writing a blog every day for a weekend
