“Maybe I don’t want a bucket list at all. I think what I want is just to live like we do anyway—you know, do our work and go for walks and watch Come Dine with Me—but have a slightly nicer version of it. Normal but better. Call it ‘Normal plus.’ ” “ ‘Normal plus,’ ” says Nick. “I like that. Let’s aim for normal plus in everything we do. So when we go out to see a film, we upgrade to slightly nicer cinema tickets.” “Exactly. And we eat nicer food than we would have done normally.” “When we watch Come Dine with Me, we have exotic snacks,” suggests Nick, “and therefore elevate the experience.”
