[It's Sunday morning, Mia's in a kitchen with more than the average number of coffee machines in it than any household should own, and the work surfaces are covered in what looks like a small scale explosion of pancake mix. There's a slightly sad looking stack of blackened pancakes on a platter within shot of the camera.
Despite the failed attempt at what should have been a simple act of culinary experimentation, she looks fairly cheerful.]
I've been thinking a lot lately about the idea of bucket lists. You know, things you want to do before you die, like running a marathon or walking the Great Wall of China or learning to play the ukelele, all the kinds of things that you swear you're going to get round to before you check out. I always thought I'd start working on mine before I hit forty, but then I realised: why wait? Plus there's the added bonus of being able to do more outrageous things if you're still young and able bodi-
[She's cut off by the sound of a smoke alarm, and briefly she turns her attention to turning up the extractor fan above the stove and opening a window- the residual smoke from her failed pancakes seems to have had a delayed effect on the smoke alarm.]
Sorry about that. One of the items on my new, revised list is to improve on my ability to cook. Pretty mundane, I know, but we've got to start somewhere, right?
So for curiosity's sake, does anyone feel like sharing some of the things they have on their bucket list?
