Seeing as we're on a whimsical theme today....
On the radio this morning, they were asking listeners to phone in and say what they would do if they had all the time in the world and enough money that they could go and do anything they wanted. Probably part of a mid-life crisis thing.
One chap phoned up and said he'd like to tour America on a Harley Davidson as a freelance tattoist having a great many romantic trysts on the way.
I thought this was a particularly good suggestion as it turned out he didn't have a motorbike, had no money, couldn't draw, never had any luck with the ladies and wasn't a tattoist.
It got me thinking though, what would I do?
I eventually settled on a similar theme where I would tour Europe, like forever, on a push bike. I would head South in Winter and North in Summer. I would spend each night in a different small country bed and breakfast where the proprietor would always be an attractive middle aged divorcee with a penchance for tight silk clothing, expensive french underwear and visiting cyclists. I would not need money, but I would earn it occasionally either by heading into the Alps in Winter and teaching rich debutanes to ski or taking stunning pictures of sunsets over the Italian lakes and selling them to German property barons.
I would eventually die well over the age of 80 with a satisifed grin on my face propping up a bar on an expensive stretch of Mediterranean coastline.
What would you do though?
