99 Things

I can't find out who started this, but I found it here and thought I'd play along. The ones with an asterisk are the ones I have done already.
Those in italics are the ones I'd love to do some day.
I have ticked off 36 - that's only 36%- but, in my own defence,
it's a little biased towards the USA and that's a whole as-yet-unachieved ambition - to visit the US
If you do this too, please leave a link.

Great idea adding the "want to's" the list! Have you seen the site Good Reads? Many book clubs to join there - online but still as fun! :)

Wow, you've held a praying mantis..don't know if I could do that! It's a great list, isn't it? Really gets you thinking.
