Birthday list

I am an advocate of lists. I write them daily and live my life according to them. At the start of this year I wrote a list of things to do before I'm 40. It was only a short list, consisting of three items, but no less important for its diminutive size. In the world of lists, size isn't everything.  

The three things on my list were, in no particular order; get a tattoo, camp at a festival and write a blog. I ticked off the first item in May and the second in June. I am writing this on the eve of my 40th birthday in order to cross off the third.

I've now written my first blog and completed my 'things to do before I'm 40 list'. Mission accomplished.
