Yes, literally a list of ten things that go up and down! A writing exercise from "Everything I Know About Writing" by John Marsden, Australian writer. I was going through old writing files and came across the original list I had done about 13 years ago. As you can see, a literal interpretation of the task! As I read it, a new list started forming in my head, each item a reflection of my current state of mind, possibly. Interesting exercise in thought processes. Try it. What's on your mind? PS I'd love to read anyone else's lists! Original list: Lifts Yo-yos Liquid in thermometers Hills Hoist (Aussie rotary clothes line) pogo stick ball when bounced water in a fountain escalators person on a trampoline stairs Today's list: stock market my mood bad food petrol prices, fuel prices, food prices (still waiting for the down bit) my expectations picnic table umbrella in a British summer my basil plant water level in my kettle - frequently turbulent airplane my ironing board - again, frequently
