Fun

A party with friends, including our Christmas beanos.
Family get together
Theatre trips of all types
Meals out
Outdoors of all kinds

All of the above but exchanging the word friend for family as I have none of the latter. Again, apart from the coffee not necessarily in that order. I lead a simple life.

Every second I spend with my lovely grandson;
The solitude of fishing an upland reservoir (catching fish is good too!);
Having both my children and their families here together - doesn't happen often;
A walk on Filey Brigg with DH - it is his favourite place;
Being by a river, anywhere.

One of DD's rare phone calls
Watching children laugh and play
Being out in the sunshine
Meeting with friends and or family
Sitting in my cosy warm house watching snow fall outside

My grandchildren
My family
Real coffee
Sunshine on the water
Good chocolate :-)

My grandchildren,
My cat,
Lazy starts to the day - coffee and newspaper,
Chatty lunch with a friend,
U3A groups,

Much to be grateful for!

Large coffee after walking the dogs early in the morning.
Family contact, keeping me in touch with what they are doing
A good book

GN
So lucky I can enjoy all these things.

Putting my tee shot straight down the middle.
Getting an unexpected call from my grandson (age 13) like yesterday - so sweet.
A really good cup of coffee
DH's perfect bottom (well you did ask)
A strong G & T at 5pm

If you mean things that I do every single day:
Getting an update or photo on the family Whatsapp.
Having a laugh with DH.
Reading or watching TV, on the sofa with the cat snuggling up.
Good food and drink, whatever and whenever I like.
Getting my 8000 steps, out in the fresh air.

Which all contribute to number 6:
Snuggling under the duvet every night knowing I don't have to get up for work the next day - it's still a thrill after 3 years!

Less than once a day, there are more things than I can count. I'm very lucky and very grateful.

My first cup of tea in bed - preferably made by dh!
Spending time with dh
Talking to or seeing any of my family
Spending time in the house on my own

It's wonderful that the things which make us happy are the simple things in life, family, friends, nature (not forgetting coffee and tea).

Spending time with family.
Holidays.
Dining out.
A nice bottle of wine.
Soaking in a bubble bath.

I could go on but that's my top 5 today. Tomorrow it could be slightly different.

Ist coffee of the day

And First hot shower on my sore shoulder
Both bliss.

Any time on my own just to Sit in the conservatory passing the time watching and listening to the birds.

Receiving a laugh out loud text from a friend with same sense of humour

spending too much time on GN

#1. Snuggling up with my 5 year old gs and hearing him say I love you all the way round my back nana.
#2. Hearing my other gs who is 3 on the phone and all he wants me to do is make animal noises to make him laugh.He lives 7 hours away so talk on the phone often , see him not so often.
#3. Seeing all my little family together which is not very often .
#4. That 20 minute peace and quiet I get when hubby has gone to collect gs from school and I wait at home and make his snack.( put my feet up and close my eyes)
#5. Climbing into a newly made bed with sheets dried outside and smelling of fresh air.

I have never had this much fun! Mind you I'm not sure if I could cope. My natural scottishness wouldn't allow it! The DGS are half south african so can cope.
