[Tea and Toast]

Yesterday I did three things that made me happy in a small way. I had a day off and just did what I wanted to do. I started with my Zumba class which always cheers me up - fantastic music!
I then tried out some new craft inks that were in beautiful bright colours. I started an art journal and had fun experimenting and getting messy!
Lastly, I planted a couple of plants that I bought while away, and know will flower it the next few weeks and will give me something to look forward to.
On reflection, I wondered what little things you have done recently that make you smile or feel content?

Mine are so little they don't register I feel.  However, felt good this morning phoning my brother to congratulate him on his new grandchild, born in Oz.

A long hot bath with Very Good Book and a cuppa at the end of the day
A blast in the shower during hot weather
Warm towels in the Winter
Cuddly socks ..........    need I go on: OK then ........ seeing my garden grow from nothing in the Spring to being fully over-blown right now  I found a shrub yesterday in a bed of nasty nettles that I had forgotten about 
Dawn chorus on the mornings I can't sleep ..........

Waking up and realising that OH and I will be together all day - no work at the moment. I love my work but when I'm off, I like nothing better than spending time with him, so it's great when we're both free together.

The BIG thing is when Himself gets home safely from any journeys

My perfect day is a sunny one - weekend or day off work - and no plans as such.  Just me, hunky hubby and the cats, bit of pottering/mooching in the garden, nothing too strenuous you understand.  A sit down in the sun with a book for a while with a nice cuppa (and a fan for the flushes).  Then maybe a bbq for 2, or any al fresco eating + a nice cold bottle of wine, sit outside chatting by candlelight til it goes chilly...not really had the weather for it this year but I can still dream!

We lit our chiminea while sitting out the other night and cooked some burgers in it.  I had a glass of red wine and enjoyed the smell of burning wood and burgers.  Also like watching my washing dry on a nice sunny day

Well done Purplenanny!
I love all the things on here! Eating outside, being with husbands, cuddly socks! It really is the small things that matter in life.
I want to add sharing time with my mum, on a good day, when we're no relaxed and chatting happily! Did this yesterday and realised how lucky I am!

Chatting on Skype with DGD.

Being with hubby, cuddling my grandchildren and sharing in their successes, pottering in my garden.

This is like Deseart Island Discs - which one would you take with you ........... hubby getting home safely

I love Desert Island Discs. When ever I catch it I never get to hear all of it as I arrive in the car before the end
