Questions in a 'You gov.' survey I did last week.
Tick what you did in the last 6 months.
1. Rode in a helicopter
2. Did a bungy jump
3. Swam in open water.
4. Ran in marathon.
5. Visited the Arctic.
6. Watched TV.
7. Went skiing.
Guess what I ticked??
Honestly, do you know any one who has done any one of those activities, except watch TV? Even walking I'm careful, thinking of my trip that changed my life. I walk looking carefully at where I'm stepping, paving slabs make me nervous but the newer Eastern promenade is perfect for me, a flat surface and no pavers.
Altho the new patio isn't what I really wanted it is very flat and no gaps between the paving slabs. Its so flat I am confident enough to walk on it without a walking stick.
I remember the physio's advice, stride don't tippy-toe, look ahead not down, lift your feet up higher than you think you need to; so I try to just that. But I still feel nervous. so I don't think I'm ready to do those other activities just yet, what do you think???
Shame there wasn't a question about walking on a beach. This is one of the 5 Porthcawl beaches where I have walked, hard flat sand, super to walk on,
It looked like this, when I was a child in the summer time.

Is that list of possible activities for real? Seems ridiculous that the only more or less 'normal' activity choice was watching TV! I always look where I'm walking - husband doesn't at all, which is why he's always treading in dog poo or tripping over raised paving edges!!
Was that really a proper survey?
Good grief, not sure I know anyone who has done any of those -except TV.
Def not boring, just sensible!
What a daft quiz! My daughter did run a half-marathon a couple of weeks ago, but she is in her 20's and, fit as she is, has no plans to tackle a full marathon. I would only be able to tick the watch tv option.
My Father did a bungee jump when he was in his 70s, or maybe early 80s. He was rather silent about it afterwards; I'm not sure it lived up to expectations; more terrifying, less exhilarating, perhaps?
Apart from TV I've done none of those things except swimming in the sea many, many decades ago.
We should start a 'we're not boring club' for like-minded people!
Yes, I do remember doing things in my youth that I would never attempt now or allow my kids to do. I was "outside" on my own since 4 years old and the neighborhood kids went sledding blocks away in deep snow, went into the woods, caught crayfish in the stream- all our own when I was like 10! Rode my bike 6 miles to my friends house through the parks etc. Someone was watching over me but it wasn't my parents. I live on the beach now and love to take walks.
I had the same survey and answered the same as you, watched TV. We found Porthcawl way back in 70's and loved it, not been for a few years.
I get that. I think it is just to make sure you are not a 'bot' (or whatever it's called) but a real person.
I wonder what would happen if we ticked one of the others.
