The task here is to find 25 things I can do with Mrs D that are fun or romantic. I would add the word 'new' to that - I don't want a list of 25 things we've done before. These don't have to be challenging, unusual Life List-type items. They can be cheap and they can be easy. They just have to be good for her.
Coincidentally yesterday she mentioned some things she'd like us to do so I have to put them on the list. We've done all three before. She also mentioned when in conversation with a friend that she'd like to see a live cricket match. I'm not much of a cricket fan but would definitely give a live game a try. So that's added to the list.
I don't know if it's coincidence that she's mentioned things she'd like to do at the same time that I'm compiling a list - or whether I'm suddenly paying more attention to her when she says these things. Hopefully it's the former.
The items after number 4 I think would appeal to her - and they also appeal to me. I need though to include a couple of activities that would mainly be her cup of tea.
1. Watch live recordings of BBC shows
2. London walks
3. Comedy shows
4. See a live cricket match
5. Try sailing
The 'problem' with the first three is that we've done them before. But because Mrs D mentioned them herself - unprompted, as it were - they're on the list.
Number 4 we've never done and number 5 I tried (and liked) years before I ever met my wife.
I will add these:
6. Attend an open-air festival
7. Attend a large sporting event
8. Camp overnight in Rhossili Bay
9. Create our own 'favourite things in London' guide
10. Watch a half dozen of the scariest movies in one day
So I have ten things for us to do. I can't pretend it's an impressive list but it's a start and it will undoubtedly evolve. I'll add to it soon.
