Change of Plan

I was having dinner with Anna last week when something she said made me realize that there is something missing from my list! I have never slept on a train, and I want to! Now, obviously I have slept on a train in terms of catching a head lolling, drooling nap usually on my way back from Bristol and a weekend of much wine and little sleep with Helen and Mike, but I want a little bunk bed, and tea and toast delivered to my door.

So, as it is my list and I feel fully entitled to change the rules, I am going to add it to the list! But, as 41 before 40 is not nearly so catchy, something has to go! Hmmmm, now the temptation is of course to lose something hard like riding a bike!!! But alas I fear that one must remain, like a 2 wheeled sword of Damacles. However I think that if I go to a literary festival I cannot fail to catch an author talk, henceforth number 7 (attend an author talk) becomes to travel on a sleeper train.

Now, who do I know in Edinburgh.....
