That said, I know you don't have to wish for twatty things, or even anything totally beyond the realms of possibility (if you have the funds to cross world travel off your list, power to you). For example, I want to go to the ballet. Blame it on my love of dance, blame it on Noel Streatfeild, I anticipate the choreography, the strength - and goddamn it, the costumes - giving me a girlish thrill. So I'm starting my own bucket list. It's a bit meagre and it's unlikely to be original, but when days are grey, it brightens me to think of the time I have ahead and the ongoing potential to be amazed and excited by something new. Incident is one of the Six Psychological Hungers, you know.
