I almost…

Starved

flew back to Australia

saw a shark on the Barrier reef

Cried sitting downstairs on the bench with my headphones on

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

slept enough

forgot to buy my train tickets

applied for a new job today

kissed them

found true love

didn’t come back in

booked a holiday

did not come to the turner exhibition

got knocked out by a wooden plank but it missed

went to Paradise Park

punched a teenager

spoke to Princess Diana at the Women of the Year launch

missed the bus

cried

very very miss my two dogs

went to Margate instead of Eastbourne

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

cried at the Barbara Walker exhibition

finished that email I’ve been putting off

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

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

had a shag

bought a picture at the Charleston Lewes Art gallery

didn’t come tonight but glad I did

missed my tax return

lost my phone

cooked my face

won on a 2p machine

became an eagle scout

cried today

ran away

ate sushi today but I wish I had

fostered an American Bulldog

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

got a dog

got the job

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

picked up a kitten

am blind

have been inspected

had a normal life

ran out of time

am full

married the wrong person

forgot the dog

didn’t care

ran into a seesaw

wasted a lot of money on an electrician

drowned on Brighton Beach
