On my birthday Trin suggested that I make a list of 26 things to do before I turn 27. So today, I hung my legs over the edge of the canal and made my list. 
Nothing world or life changing but just little things I want to do. I got stuck for awhile at number 19 but here is my list:- Swim in Holland (brr-cold, and eeew-icky water)
- Have ice cream from the shop near Hema (there's always a queue of people buying ice cream, even in winter)
- Make a travel bag
- Sell something on ebay
- Watch Casablanca
- Watch Gone with the Wind
- Read Pilgrim's Progress
- Cook Rebecca's mum's apple gebak (great Dutch apple cake)
- Ride to Nambucca (from Scotts Head along the beach at low tide)
- Get new glasses
- Go to Alkmaar cheese markets
- Grow something (anything)
- Cycle a bakfiets
- Do the pedal boat thing in Amsterdam
- Drink organic milk near Broek in Waterland
- Learn some embroidery stitches
- Post a video blog
- Go to the Anne Frank House
- Make a Dutch meal (e.g. stempot - a mashed potato thingy)
- Eat at the Taco Shack
- Buy pinking shears and use them
- Go to the antique shop on Nieuwe Spiegel Straat (New Mirror Street)
- Make a piece of child's clothing (have a French magazine with very cute little girls tops)
- Make 18 hour bread
- Read Pigs Might Fly
- Make a new Christmas ornament
No particular order, just 26 things to do in less than a year.

Is that not the craziest list. You are on the other side of the world and yet some of our things are the same!
I got Gone With the Wind out from the library just before I left!
Sisters have this amazing connection. Bizarre!
Love You.
That's so cool! Maybe we can do some of them together when I'm in Oz at Christmas. Hope NZ is cool.
