100 Things - Bucket List Update

 I've always been a fan of a bucket list BUT what's the point in a bucket list if you don't do anything about it, right? 

Since I last posted my 100 Things Bucket List in 2025 I've really worked on getting some things ticked off. Not super strict as I want to also enjoy things and not just have it as a chore of "got to get those endorphins and tick things off my list".

I thought it was time to update it and mark off things I have completed. Which since February last year has been 19 things!!....which feels like quite a nice dent and means I've so far completed 32 out of the 100! I have one of the things on my list which will be completed this year for sure which is seeing Phil Wang. I think it's quite important when writing a bucket list to write some things which are easily achievable and then some things which are a bit more challenging. Will I ever shear a sheep?!!
