I'm not going to pretend I have any idea as to why it's called a bucket list, or to have any interest in finding out.
[Urban Dictionary says it comes from the term 'to kick the bucket' - and there's a movie called The Bucket List with Morgan Freeman, aka, God].
Nevertheless, it's been the topic of conversation for a while so I thought it time I make one and naturally, publish it to my oh-so-many followers (ahem...) and perhaps encourage more people to make one and not just use it as a reason to call your life a failure, but to keep to it and hopefully complete it before we all, in turn, kick the proverbial bucket.
My Bucket List:
