To be lighthearted, have a laugh, doing things I enjoy, good company.

Yes that's how I see it too.
Perhaps I am too easily pleased.
I would describe the social groups that I belong to as fun.
Even the Church cleaning team, we have 'fun' because we all get on well together and enjoy a chat and a laugh as we work.

It’s just another of the (many) things that annoy me! I agree that it’s something for children, and can’t think when ( if ever) I’ve said I had great fun.
I think I would say something was funny rather than fun.
Recently my friend was showing me a hat she had knitted, and had put a wee bunch of knitted bananas on the top. ‘ It’s just a bit of fun’, said she.

What does it mean to “ have fun”? Obviously different things to different people.
On Bargain Hunt, contestants say they “ want to have fun.” Experts describe an article eg a vase, as “fun”.

To me, having fun is something children do.
I enjoy certain things, but I rarely think of them as “ fun”. I am not going partying or to a skate park. 😱
What does it mean to you to have fun? 😀
