- Getting out and enjoying the daylight by going on walks with Rev T.
- Wearing my favourite summer clothes. And buying a few new ones.
- Enjoying the silence. Rev T and the Tubblet went to see his parents so I've been home alone. Apart from the cat.
- Cooking my way through the new Miguel Barclay book. Yummo!
- Collapsing on our new sofas. (Living room tour post to follow). After I've the cleaned room up and looked for matching cushions and blankets.
- Visting our lovely family in the USA. And wishing we didn't have to leave. Or that they lived closer.
- Enjoying the sun. When I'm not complaining about the sun. I am not built for heat. Drinking more water. Because it's too hot not too.
- Travelling up and down the motorway to see family. Now the Tubblet is older, she turns on, tunes in and zones out but when she was younger, we played games to make the journey go faster. As there are lots of posh cars on the roads near us, we'd shout out the make each time we spotted one and get a point. It was known as The Top Gear Game. It got very competitive. Clickmechanic has some other, better games.
- Reading. I've been trying not to buy new books and read the existing ones on my Kindle. with varying degrees of success. Because. Books.
- Counting down to the holiday. (Post?! But of course!)
- Eating and drinking too much. (Holiday calories aren't real, right?! But if that's true, why are my jeans rather snug).
- Crying with laughter.
- Making wishes and trying to enjoy the moment. Because we can get so caught up with planning everything and trying to make the most out of life, when the very best of times sometimes sneak up on you without you having to actually do anything.
- Bubble baths and pamper evenings.
- Freaking out because the Tubblet is now in Year 9 and starts studying GSCEs in English and Maths. (Her school teaches the syllabus over 3 years rather than 2).
