I can now die happy!
I have always wanted to have a go on a digger and now I have.
It was just as much fun as I thought it would be.
The controls take a bit of getting used to but, once you are familiar with them, they feel quite natural.
You may say that it is only a very small digger. However, I would point out that size is not everything and that it is bigger than it looks! One bucket fills a wheelbarrow.
On a related subject, my sister, Val, gave me a bookmark for Christmas inscribed with a list of 50 books to read before you die.
I had already read about two thirds of them but am trying to work my way through the rest. For example, I have just finished One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which I can recommend.
She advised me, just in case, to read only 49 of them. Which I thought was very wise. However, as one of them is Don Quixote (which I have no intention of reading), maybe I don't need to worry.
