Sunday Stealing has never done this...

It's late on Saturday night. I'm in Sydney, where I've just had a long and lovely bath - then I remember the blog has not been done today. Argh!

Thankfully, the questions this week are easy.

As always, they've been provided by Sunday Stealing.

Five Things I Have Never Done

1. Heroin

Actually, change that to Class A street drugs. Sure, I've had the odd puff on the wacky baccy and had the odd pill at a dance party in my youth, but the bug stuff - heroin, cocaine, meth, ketamine... - no thank you. Never tried it. Never wanted to. No need to try. I've had fentanyl and morphine after having surgery. Fentanyl makes me hallucinate and morphine makes me throw up - but as this has been administered in a hospital by doctors it doesn't count. 

2. Been to Africa

But I'd like to South Africa, Morocco and Tanzania (to go to Zanzibar, like the Hoodoo Gurus song
 says to do.)


3. Got married

Nobody's ever asked. Working through some of this relationship stuff with a psychologist at the moment. AuDHD has a lot to answer for. (And I have standards... and middle-aged Australian men are very uninspiring.)

4. Owned a new car

Pointless exercise. I've had nearly new cars - ex-demonstrator model cars with very low mileage (when I got this one four years ago it had 2500 kilometres on the clock) but I've never had new, new car. Pointless. Waste of money. You lose thousands in value as soon as you drive out of the dealership driveway. 

5. Published a book

I really need to pull my finger out on this one. I've got a bit of traction on my novel once again - got more words down over the last week - and I'm enjoying it again. So, I best get cracking.
