Talking about ambitions has got me thinking... up until recently I've not thought of myself as ambitious - but I think that's because I'm not, if you're talking about being a highflyer careerwise, or backpacking round the world, or leaping out of a plane. But there are things I want to do, or be, or see, or acquire at some point before I die, so I think I'll start writing them down so I don't forget them. Here's one:
Write a kids book
Well, not write it but illustrate it. I was being nagged by Uncle Meat about why I haven't gone into illustration for kids (based on Mini Meat's last birthday card, if I remember correctly), and I pointed out that I'd need a story to illustrate for a start and he said, 'Well flippin' write one then, it's dead easy!' and I said, 'Well if it's so flippin' easy you do it and I'll illustrate it!' and he looked sheepish for a second then said, 'OK', and we shook on it, and Mrs Meat smiled enigmatically at the pair of us and went off to magic up a delicious meal for us while we tried to sulk at each other a bit.
Expect a tale of a little girl who, after a series of surreal adventures, ends up winning the Tour de France in record time whilst whistling 'A Message To You Rudy', illustrated with collages of brightly-coloured card and sparkly paper.
