Amazing Things to See and Do

Salut!
Yesterday, while reading a Vauxhall magazine/brochure that I would never normally have picked up and only read out of pure boredom after grabbing anything within arms reach; I was fascinated by a snippet of an article.
Everyone loves a bit of comfy. The favourite chair, those old trainers you should really throw out but can't, that jumper with holes at the elbows that nobody except a surprise visitor gets to see you wearing. Comfy is good - it makes a house a home, an acquaintance a friend...
Comfy is good. I love comfy things. Sleeping in my own bed with my own pillows immersed in my own scent; or just sleeping in general. Waking up or opening the door to the whiff of a warm home-cooked meal of spaghetti bolognese or sausages and gravy; and those slippers that have the holes in the toes - quite defeating their purpose of keeping ones tootsies warm - that have been through who-knows-how-many generations, from grandmother to mother to me, but are still worn at daily intervals: because they are comfy!
And yet; when I think about how big the world is and when I nose my way into other peoples exciting social lives and see the many miscellaneous adventures they are currently on or planning next; it does so make me think about the various escapades and expeditions I might be missing out on. 
I do, indeed, have my own little giggles and thrills at non-exciting things like seeing the fully grown men order a Happy Meal and watching the teenage girls on the stroll home pretending to be on their phones but actually staring inspirationally into the blank screens. Am I not the only one who finds it utterly and uncontrollably hilarious to dry ones hands under the super-strong hand dryers and see the little wobbles of skin moving and bopping around under the gusts of the air? Please say that I am not alone on this quirk. 

And I do experience and try out new fads and preoccupations. Today I am planning to paint my nails in a new style,  (appreciations to the splendid Pinterest), on  Tuesday I am going to eat sushi and most likely try an new flavour or taste, I watch new films and see new places. I can’t however say that I am currently a daring or out-going swashbuckler camping in a new continent every other week. 

Although I cannot say that my little life is 'uninteresting'; I have been compiling a somewhat endless list of places I want to see and things I want to do for who-knows-how-long now. A handful leaning more toward the wittier shenanigans of life and others being in the more historical, musical, travel-y (new word?), naturally, side of things.
