Insects

Not what I was expecting!  I bought a packet of crickets from an online exotic foods supplier.  I opted for crickets because they looked pretty awful.  I deliberately didn't go for those ones you can buy where they are encased in a lollipop etc - that seems a bit like cheating to me.  Anyway I thought I would eat them with an audience and  managed to eat two of them before the rest were "pinched" by everyone else who wanted to try them.  I was really looking forward to this one but ended up pretty disappointed - they were dry and tasteless.  You would also have to eat an awful lot of them to feel full I think.

Attend an Orchestral Concert

Just a quick update - we've bought tickets to go to see the London Philharmonic Orchestra at Leicester's De Montfort Hall  in April.    They are being accompanied by the classical guitarist Milos Karadaglic.  I had never heard of him (to my shame!) but having googled him I have to say I am very impressed and really looking forward to it.  The best thing about this list is that it is forcing me to make an effort to do the things I've always wanted to do but just never got round to.
