I almost…

Starved

saw a shark on the Barrier reef

have been inspected

very very miss my two dogs

missed my tax return

punched a teenager

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

cried at the Barbara Walker exhibition

kissed them

wasted a lot of money on an electrician

cried

didn’t care

picked up a kitten

went to Margate instead of Eastbourne

had a shag

Cried sitting downstairs on the bench with my headphones on

finished that email I’ve been putting off

slept enough

became an eagle scout

found true love

cooked my face

ran into a seesaw

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

got a dog

forgot the dog

flew back to Australia

fostered an American Bulldog

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

didn’t come back in

ran away

married the wrong person

missed the bus

did not come to the turner exhibition

got knocked out by a wooden plank but it missed

drowned on Brighton Beach

didn’t come tonight but glad I did

am blind

forgot to buy my train tickets

booked a holiday

spoke to Princess Diana at the Women of the Year launch

got the job

went to Paradise Park

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

cried today

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

applied for a new job today

bought a picture at the Charleston Lewes Art gallery

am full

ran out of time

had a normal life

ate sushi today but I wish I had

lost my phone

won on a 2p machine
