Dreams

With mum gone, I’m feeling a rare sense of fulfilment and opportunity. Last night I began a ‘wish-list’ of things I’d like to achieve while mum is gone..
1. Meet and Enjoy my Cyber-girlfriend Melissa Pryke (27) of Florida
2. Learn French, with a view to emigration next summer
3. Construct A Life-Size Replica Of Lorraine Kelly Out Of Used Pot Noodles And Wool.
(Obviously, some of these are more pressing than others, but why bother having dreams if you’re not going to acknowledge them and chase them?)
4. Visit my grandfather’s grave in Normandy.
5. Re-read Erich Von Daniken’s books, to remind myself how awful they are, and then plan ways to hunt him down and hurt him.
6. Evade capture.
(Admittedly, I’m slipping into violent fantasy here, but I figure ‘at least if I’m writing them down I’m not harbouring them inside me and nurturing them’ or alternatively ‘at least if I’m writing them down I’m providing the police with evidence of pre-meditation for future prosecutions.’ Whatever…)
7. Cook and eat a large cheese, ham, egg and bean toasted sandwich
(This one was achieved pretty quickly actually)
8. Lose 5 stone so I’m nearer ‘cuddly’ than ‘obese’
(not sure this follows on well from no. 7. but there we are..)
9. Find myself employment that is fulfilling and enriching
10. Write this blog and post it every single day.

I think I’m stretching things too far with no. 10 but it’s good to set the bar high, I figure.
