The rationale behind this blog is set out in About This Blog, so I wont duplicate that here. Suffice to say, the objective is to do forty new things in my fortieth year, things I have never done before which will open up new corridors of experience, or at least provide an anecdote or two to share with friends over a pint.
At the time of writing, the list is not complete. I can't actually think of forty things to do! In my defence, much of what friends have suggested I have been lucky enough to do already, so hopefully this blog will act as a good forum for inviting ideas and suggestions for filling the vacant slots.
Here is the current List of Forty Things as it stands.
