Pfft!

Goodbye dream home with the fantastic view.

Goodbye buying all the smallish houses that go on sale on the island and turning them into affordable rentals.

Goodbye building a proper smallish theatre and setting up a trust fund to maintain it.

Goodbye trip on the Orient Express (and buying all the clothes I’d need).

Goodbye renting a lovely little house in the south of France for a year and finally mastering French.

Goodbye breakfasting with giraffes in Kenya.

Goodbye all those lovely things.

Yes, I finally checked the lottery ticket that’s been sitting in my wallet since last September. Goodbye $56 million. NOT A WINNER. Of course I knew in my heart of hearts that this would be the case, but it’s been fun dreaming for the past little while.

Nothing wrong with this view.
