With any luck I've got a few years yet with my dodgy ticker, but when the doc says it's time to go, I'm going to have a slab of lardy cake.

Oh, yeah.

After years of abstinence and being sensible.

Mmmm. cloud9 Lardy cake.

Thanks, slopes, I should gave gone for treat and venue. In my case my favourite purveyor of lardy cake is no more. My venue for end-of-life lardy cake scoffing would probably be 'furtively in my car.'

Loads and loads and loads, I mean copious amounts of class A drugs.

So much Charlie that Pablo would blush.

Head to St Ives, Cornwall...

Cornish pasty from Porthminster beach take away followed by a tiffin and a cappuccino from Porthminster beach bar. All consumed in a deckchair on the sand under a big brolly to ward off the gulls.

Basically reliving most of my lunch times from my two weeks there in June 2023!

On the basis I have no kids, or anybody to pass my money onto, I would have a binge on Salon, Petrus and Chateau d'Yquem.

Some sort of snack would probably be in order too.

1 in 18 diagnoses is wrong so when the doc says your time is up, how sure can you really be?

When I've had enough I'm going to stop taking the cocktail of pills I've been on for the last decade and pig out on rowies (aka butteries) until everything internal goes ping, splat or oh st!

You're better off just enjoying things when you can, rather than stretching out an ascetic life promising yourself something nice in a future you might not get to see.

If you suddenly find yourself counting down the hours you don't want to regret all the things you never did. Bit too late at that point.

That is very much on my bucket list.

I did write 50 things on my bucket list about a decade back now and have achieved about a third so far.

Full English breakfast three times a day. From a hotel buffet so no quantity restrictions. For snacks fish and chips or pizza followed by rum and raisin ice cream and those maple syrup pancakes you used to get in Little Chefs.

This sort of thinking might be understandable if you've always wanted to try Blowfish Sashimi. Or Fentanyl. But a Lardy Cake? A pasty?

Has it occurred to you that the doctor might not get the opportunity to say "Go!" in time for you to get to a bakery?

This, although I suspect I'd prefer something more mellow like heroin or ket.

It's one of those, 'Better to travel in hope than to arrive,' situations.
