I almost…

had a shag

was credited on Cliff Richard’s ‘ wired for sound’ album

had a normal life

Cried sitting downstairs on the bench with my headphones on

ran away

drowned on Brighton Beach

ate sushi today but I wish I had

didn’t say yes to what turned out to be the best weekend of my life

didn’t come back in

cooked my face

married the wrong person

slept enough

cried today

forgot the dog

cried at the Barbara Walker exhibition

saw a shark on the Barrier reef

missed the bus

booked a holiday

have been inspected

missed my tax return

found true love

punched a teenager

didn’t care

ran out of time

won on a 2p machine

got the job

bought a picture at the Charleston Lewes Art gallery

applied for a new job today

got knocked out by a wooden plank but it missed

very very miss my two dogs

Starved

did not come to the turner exhibition

became an eagle scout

fostered an American Bulldog

wasted a lot of money on an electrician

ran into a seesaw

am full

spoke to Princess Diana at the Women of the Year launch

didn’t come tonight but glad I did

am blind

died. I was in the Nevada Desert. Alone. On a road. At dusk. After a truck smashed my vehicle. 1981. Age 19.

lost my phone

got a dog

finished that email I’ve been putting off

kissed them

picked up a kitten

forgot to buy my train tickets

got a taxi, but the weather was too good so I walked

flew back to Australia

went to Margate instead of Eastbourne

rode in an aston martin DB4 until the owner had to go and have new tyres fitted to it – such regrets!

cried

didn’t come today thinking that maybe it wouldn’t be great but I’m glad I did! Nice to see artistic creations.

went to Paradise Park
