On one of the many blogs I regulary visit, I found this challenge. Ten things I' ve done you probably haven't, its mighty difficult to think of ten things, all I can think of are things I dont want to mention here, places I swam naked or had spectacular sex (not to mention the things we did...).
But oke, here I go:
1. Caught a Geep (a fish, european, like a small baracuda) while sailing the baltic sea at 5 o clock in the morning after two weeks catching nothing, we (John and I) laughed so hard and long that we ended up steerless with flapping sails and the fish in the cocpit with us standing on the sides, to afraid to get it from the hook.
2. Eat self caught mussels with my kids in the harbour of texel.
3. Got my masters degree in Law just because I wanted to.
4. Got on a horse back in Tunesie, because I didnt dare to get on the camel, I still regret this (not that I didnt climbe on the camel, but the F.. Horse).
5. Faint while having a splinter removed from my finger, everybody thought I was joking and they all laughed while I fell on the tiles. I dont mention all the other times I fainted, that realy would be a sad story...
6. Drink so much berenburg that I fell asleep on the toilet (shame on me...).
7. One summer the only thing I did wear was an overall, at the end of the summer one leg came off but I didnt care and kept on wearing it. In a cabaret they sang a song about the missing leg and the man in the overall.
8. Cooking macaroni on the North Sea while verybody else was ouside seasick.
9. Publishing a book that contained only the first pages of books that where not written or published yet, called 'Promising first Pages'. The readers could choose one off the pages and the winner got his book published, sponsored by Rank Xerox.
10. Okay, the last one, why not, one place we swam naked, we always do, stop the engine, let the ship float in the middle of the IJsselmeer, no land in sight, strip naked and jump overboard, Nicky is always the first, than me, Twan always needs some encouragement and last but not least Hellen jumps. In fact one day we arrived in the harbour of Enkhuizen and while mooring the ship, Nicky plunged overboard. We all said, cant you wait until we are ready and you are undressed, but she reacted indignant: I fell!
