Life List Update

I can't cross any more off my list (all the travel ones are on hold) but some are at least in progress thanks to to some excellent Christmas presents:

• Hubby gave me a ride in a Tiger Moth, as well as 4 laps of Eastern Creek raceway in a V8 race car for hubby and I, so I'm really looking forward to those this year :)
• Work gave me a lovely Japanese Maple bonsai tree and some guides to growing them - I keep looking at it nervously on the coffee table, somewhat fearful that I am going to kill it (I do have a tendency to forget to water plants) but hopeful that it will miraculously flourish!
• Mum & Dad Irwin gave me a teddy bear pattern, so I need to get some material and brush up on my sewing in order to get that made, hopefully this month
• I bought myself the entire BBC Shakespeare Collection - 37 DVDs to watch over the coming months, some quality couch time there! I have also a lovely book containing an overview and each of the plays, which I have started reading to try to decide an order to watch them in (thanks Mum & Dad Irwin)

We bought Rosie trapeze lessons for Christmas, so watching her doing catches in Centennial Park the other day made me really keen to have a go, but I'm not sure that my arm is strong enough after the collapsed vein issues. However, once I have surgery and get my lymph nodes removed I suspect the other arm isn't going to be much use either so I think that I should probably do it sooner rather than later!
