It's Not a Bucket List

 Hi there

Before that bucket list movie came out, I was mentally storing up a list engagingly entitled The Little Things I Can't Do and Wish That I Could. Or alternatively, My Genie Wishes, just in case I ever do meet a genie.

This list is sort of the lesser cousin of the bucket list.  There are still a few items that I have not been able to complete.  I don't think I ever will -

1    Play the piano.  To my regret, all I mastered - at age 12 - was "Home on the Range" and "God Save the Queen" before I threw a tantrum, swearing to run away from home if I ever had to go to one more piano lesson

2    Do up zips that are at the back of my dress.  Where's a lady's maid when I require one?

3    Be able to put in my pierced ear-rings without looking in a mirror.  I envy my friends.

4    Take on the lead role in a Broadway musical ...    I am totallly aware that I can't sing a note

5    Be able to hook up my bras without having to do them up in the front, then whirl the bra around to my back to finish the operation - I get so contorted. 

6   Using willpower to never put on weight...     Don't snigger.
