Also the thought of being on a plane all that time fills me with dread.The 2nd I do intend to do and will only take a three away days but it's finding the time as Himself wants to come too. We want to go to St Kilda. We'd have to drive down overnight to Sky to get one of the boats, it's around 6 hours on board then 5 or so hours on the island, then the long trip back. An overnight stay on Sky before driving back up North. It's a place we've both longed to visit but now it's a World Heritage Site, and we can only go when they say.

I love "The Northern Lights" LD, there's a beach near here called Sandside that you can get a fantastic view of them. The whole sky moves and swirls around you sometimes.. It's a wonderful thing to experience.

Re: Does your bucket have a hole in it.
I have a few things on my list:My main one was going to see my favourite band Pink Floyd but I never got the chance. They don't exist anymore, although I did see Roger Waters (main songwriter/bassist) last year in concert and I intend to see David Gilmour (lead singer/guitarist) during his next solo tour, planned for 2020.
As far as seeing other live bands, I'm pretty much happy with the ones I've seen so far and the others are either split up or dead.
Another bucket list item soon to be realised, again next year, will be to go to California. I'm booking a trip in October.
A further bucket list item is to go into a shark cage and see great whites feeding (not on humans, but on chub thrown from a boat...a bigger boat!). I'm going to inquire about this 'extra' item that the tour company may be able to add to my tour. If I don't get to go into the water in the cage, I'll be nearly as pleased watching them from the boat.
I want to drive my all-time favourite car, a Lamborghini Countach around a race track. That could well be possible, if I can actually fit inside one. Those bucket seats are very snug!
On a car theme, I also want to visit the Monaco Grand Prix someday. That isn't too difficult to accomplish, though it would be expensive.
Obviously my main bucket list item is to get off these bloody night shifts and get back to a normal way of life, i.e. sleeping at the correct time of day and actually being able to relax in the garden in the evening. With all my debts due to be cleared later this year, I'm working on it.

When you are working and have lots of responsibilities looking after others it's not so easy to find time and energy. We have so much on our doorstep.

Re: Does your bucket have a hole in it.
No matter what age one is, I feel we all need ambitions. Not necessarily a "Must do" bucket list but maybe a few things we would like to do while we are able. I can't imagine an "If only" scenario in a few years time..or less.. which means I intend to do whatever it is while I still can. Bearing in mind that old saying, "Never let the devil hear your thoughts"
