Tagged and bagged

Anyway, on with the show kiddies, before dire things start happening in these parts.

1. Compete at a world-class level (working on this)
2. Be recognised for my writing (ha!)
3. Play at the Albert Hall (done that)
4. Travel the world (done that)
5. Be blissfully, eternally happy (working on this too)

5 Things I am currently into:

4. Planning my next book
5. People (fascinating things!)

So there you are.

I’m not going to tag folk, I’m feeling very laissez faire.

But if anyone looking in wants to pick up this meme and run with it, help yourselves.

Right, I’m off upstairs now.
