The first batch.
Yesterday
I posted the full 40 in simple terms - - with time effort and a few bucks, what
would I do with life? Today, we shall take a closer look at the item in the
first section, in which the items have Buckley's chance of actually happening…
Get stranded on tropical island
Look, I've said it before, I like to be alone. Am good in my own company and nature is my
friend. Even such places have birds and
lizards and such. I say tropical island
rather than desert island, because I will need more than music to sustain
me. This island has the full smorgasbord
of fruits on offer. Coconut palms,
mangos, papaya and banana plants, mangos, watermelons and cantaloupes, mangos,
somehow on the high side of the volcano even berries will grow so there's
blueberries and straws and rasps, mangos, sitaphal (custard apples) and star
fruit, mangos, kiwi vines and cucumber and tomatoes, mangos, runner beans and
gourds, mangos and I am sure there will be some form of edible Wild Yam…
Virgin space flight
I read somewhere that fellow Branson is getting closer to commercial
flights into the stratosphere and higher even.
Now that truly is a childhood dream come true and this once aspiring jet
pilot would be up for a ride on one of these!!
Never have to do another laundry
Come oooooonn, which women out there would not be nodding her head
at this right now?
Live in tree/cave
Now, of course, if the first wish were to be granted, this would
follow by natural order. However, in the
case of there being a drought in tropical island vacancies, then a tree or cave
in any of Nature's wonderland would have to suffice. There would naturally have to be a waterfall
and pool close by for the necessary ablution requirements.
Grow orchids
What, you ask, is this doing in the too hard basket? Well, you just answered your own
question. Actually you could add African
violets to this one. Roses also. I love them.
The don't love me….&<
Sing at SOH
I have been fortunate in my singing days to have performed at
Edinburgh's Usher Hall - the Northern equivalent of the Sydney Opera
House. (Who's laughing?) Somehow, I never picked up this same occupation in Sydney and
therefore was always the listener and never the listened to. Not that it was a bad thing. But since we are doing the 'out there' items,
this would be one of them.
Meet;
Richard Branson
Well, given the second choice up there, it's not too hard to
understand this one. Have always had a
sneaking admiration for the guy and he's a darn good human being along with
it. He also epitomizes what I was saying
about visualising then going about the creating. I guess there might be a very vague
possibility about this one, but on the whole it is unlikely so must stay in
this category.
Nelson Mandela
Well, who wouldn't want to?
But I fear this becomes an impossibility for that dear man's health is
now ridiculously frail.
Mark every bird in ornithology books of OZ/UK
Having been a keen birder/twitcher/YO since school days and never
having lost the love of spotting every little thing with wings, this would be a
reasonable dream to add to my list - and reasonable to assume, too, that it
would be close to impossible for me now to make the 100%.
Dance in Bollywood film
It's just down the road from the ashram, y'know? In fact you have read even in recent times of
my observing the making of movies right next door. I could go and gate crash I suppose. They might spot me though. Half the height of the other girls. Twice the girth. And a bit on the light side. OOOOHHHH but I do love a bit of bhangra…
Know Sanskrit by inserted chip tech
Last but not least for today, oh for that technology where by the
human brain becomes fully integrated with Voo-voo the Vaio and I can go from
being the most desperate and tongue-tied student to the erudite Sanskrit Scholar Supreme. Meanwhile, I'll make do
with the fact that I can A) read Sanskrit, B) pronounce Sanskrit, C) see
something of the grammar of Sanskrit and D) chant in Sanskrit. All I need is the chip-in dictionary and I'd
be blinding.
More fun
tomorrow!
