In a recent interview with the FT, Barry Humphries describes getting old as depressing. With the numerous things to do on his list, he says that he has to cross off some of it: some books to read, some places to visit. He admits that he will probably be unable to read the complete works of George Meredith. He adds that he will never be able to go on a walking tour of Patagonia, nor a picnic in Mongolia. He has completely crossed China off his list too.
