My awesome friends have helped me plan out the remainder of my life

On Friday I went to see a divorce lawyer, and posted about it on Facebook, saying Well, I can tick "Talk to a divorce lawyer" off of my bucket list.

I got a bunch of sympathy from people, and that was lovely.

I also had swampers say "I can come up with a better bucket list. Item 1: Talk to a bucket."
And this was followed by 30-odd hours of intermittent updates from my lovely friends, as they proceeded to come up with a 100-item list of items that you can do with, from, or near a bucket - and every time one came in it made me grin.
( Long list is long )

With additional, unnumbered, suggestons to both persuade someone else to kick my bucket, and to take this on the road as a fringe show.
