This prompt from Long and Short Reviews was a tricky one, as my practical brain immediately started trying to work out how much food and water I'd need, but let's face it, that's not what people want when they talk about this - they want all the personal stuff. So let's assume there's enough food, drink and electricity to go round and get on with the individual items I'd want there.
TV and blu-ray player with a stack of horror films. Well, I'd get pretty bored on a deserted island without anything to watch, and it's got to be horror. Although if I can get a Sky subscription out there that would help.
Books and my Kindle. Unsurprisingly, given I read at least four books a month. I'd go mad without my Kindle.
Computer. I'd also go mad if I couldn't write, and I no longer have the patience to hand-write stories, so computer it is.
And of course - sunscreen. Because I am extremely pale and never tan, so would like to avoid burning, thanks.
So what would you want on a deserted island?
I like the idea of having a tone of films to watch....not sure I would want horror if I were all alone though. My imagination would go into overdrive. My thoughts are here.
ReplyDeleteI've never had that problem with horror for some reason.
DeleteOoh, sunscreen is a good choice. I wish I'd thought of that one! Other than that, we seem to have pretty similar tastes.
ReplyDeleteMy post.
I've forgotten sunscreen before and regretted it...
DeleteNothing too drastic here, but would it be deserted if electricity and wi-fi were available?
ReplyDeletePossibly not, but if I got tied up in practicality I'd probably be dead on the island within a week.
DeleteGood list. I hadn't thought about sunscreen. I'd need that, too. I tend to crisp and burn rather than tan.
ReplyDeleteI've never tanned in my life. I'm too pale.
DeletePractical Brain pretty much wrote my reply, which is here. I hadn't thought about sunscreen, though.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a necessity when you don't tan, like me.
DeleteExcellent list, all things I'd want, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
