Blackbriar 8,569 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 The current Mrs BB (she of the very tiny hands! ) was telling me about someone on Facebook, who's made one of those 'bucket lists', you know 'things to do before you die' kind of thing. I gave some brief thought to mine - sky-diving, swimming with dolphins, all the usual - then a sobering thought struck me................... Here I was, making up this list of extraordinary and memorable things to do, and there's loads and loads of ordinary, everyday things I've never done. Things some people do on an almost daily basis, have never entered my sphere of existence................... To illustrate, here's the first one that came to me - I'm 51, and I've NEVER been on a horse ! Running the risk of some side-splitting retorts ("I've never been into space ! Ha ha !") are there any mundane, everyday things you've never done ? (As I'm writing this, the good Lady BB tells me that her sister has never been on a train ! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
