I wish I could...

DH and DD are glider pilots, DH is Duty Pilot today so I have peace and quiet.
My 90 year old DF went up last year, and loved it, so age is no excuse

Personally you wouldn't get me anywhere near one, I hate heights and have a strong sense of self preservation. Aeronautics don't make sense to me however many times it's explained to me by DH and Aeronautical Engineer DS.

If I were a bird it would have to be of the non-flying variety, probably an ostrich

Gliding as in a small plane?
I did do that once. I think there were 3 of us in the plane? Myself and a friend, and the pilot?
A bunch of us did it from work.
I cant say I remember the upcurrents. I do remember it being eerily silent. And hoping we would land safely!
And that it didnt cost a lot.
Perhaps I should brave it again. I dont live very close to where they do it I dont think, but yes, thank you for the reminder.

tandem flights would be even scarier Greyduster! Though I dont think I will ever rule it out completely.

No Gliding in a glider, no engine, almost always just two people sitting tandem. You rely on finding thermal up-currents to climb.

Oh I've just thought of another 'I wish I could'! I really, really wish I could have a bath, just lie back in a lovely warm bath filled with heavenly scented bath products and close my eyes and enjoy it. But I haven't been able to do that for a long while now because once I get in a bath I absolutely cannot get out of it. The last time I tried, about 2 years ago, I actually started to panic. I was alone in the house (DH playing golf I think), and I had visions of having to stay where I was, with the water growing cold, until he came home and could help me to get out. I did eventually manage to get to my knees and then climb out, but I swore then and there, NEVER again. I do so miss it though

Ashtree, look for an aid that will help you get out, worth it for the luxury of those bubbles.

Poor you, Ash tree.On the other hand I always shower rather than have a bath, just because I prefer it.
I don't cook Sunday lunch either, we have the main meal in the evenings usually, and I only do a roast if we have visitors, in which case it's the easiest thing to cook.Stop worrying about weight everyone! enjoy life.

There are a number on the market. One that inflates is best, don't go for one where you sit on a strap that lowers you.
I recently looked at some for a friend's mum.

I wish........

I was slim
I was fit and agile
I could sing in tune
I could paint better than I can

Those very deep, "Victorian" looking baths you sometimes get in holiday cottages, scare the life out of me. The sides are too high to get your hands onto to lift yourself up. I have to turn round in the water and kneel, then get up from there. Not good. And the cottage owners always highlight them as being something luxurious.

I'm alright in my own bath.

I cook a Sunday lunch as it's an excuse to eat jam and cake for Sunday tea.

Speaking of which.....

Sing, I would love to sing in tune. Tried, but it's hopeless. I envy those who can! x

Walk without feeling like the little mermaid who felt that she was walking on knife blades

I wish I could speak several languages.
Like Galen, I wish my feet didn't hurt.
I wish someone else would cook Sunday dinner and invite me. It's not something I'd do for just me so it's about twenty years since I last did it.

I wish I could sit comfortably in any chair I encounter instead of having to look around for one that will not leave my back twinging for the next two days. In so many places I just cannot sit comfortably at all.

We often have a 'proper roast' on a Sunday - not today, though, as we had an old favourite that my mum used to cook and we all love it too: roast gammon with onion sauce, new potatoes and veg. And the veg just has to include carrots, just because that's how my mum used to do it!

pompa that's not a bad idea, might just do that (opens up a new tab and googles bath aids)

I wish my back was 30 years younger.

I wish i could spring back up from the floor when at music and dance with 15 month DGS and not have to shuffle to get my balance before I stand up... when did that happen!!!!!

I wish I could turn back the clock so I could attend all my dental check ups and take care of my teeth.

This is especially for you chloe1984
