45 before 45 - ideas please!

Reporter Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook

I had a birthday this week, and being the mad planner that I am, I'm creating a list of things to do before my next birthday - which will be my 45th.

So, I'm after ideas for things to put on my list of 45 things to achieve by the time I'm 45.

A couple of qualifiers: I'm not into adrenaline, so no jumping out of planes or off bridges. And they need to be things that I can do, and things that any normal person with normal resources would be able to achieve - no flying rockets into outer space or anything.

So far I've got:

1. Play a round of golf

2. Compete in a sport

3. Smash NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)

4. Read 'The Bone People' (again)

I'll be setting up a blog and tracking progress online and in print, so come at me with your best ideas - even something that you set out to accomplish and achieved and gave you a real sense of achievement. Would love to hear your stories as well!

Shannon (Ed).
