What makes you happy?

[Fantasisa]

And anything non dc related would be appreciated. I need to find some big and small silver linings.

Walking along a sandy beach barefoot feet just in the surf.

Reading a good book.

Going for a walk up a hill and then sitting admiring the view and knowing the walk down will be easier than the walk up.

Having a bubble bath when no one else is home.

Walking up and down the hills nearby. Especially if I’ve got a pack up and a flask of coffee with me.
A good nap.
Having a lie in.
Seeing the washing out on the line.

Getting in to bed each night. It just makes me so wonderfully happy. The work of the day is done, everyone is asleep, time to relax and sleep in cosy comfort.
I’m another one who loves looking at water. The sea, a pond, a river, makes me happy and relaxed to watch them.

Having my first coffee outside before the sun has crept round to the garden.

Glimpsing distant hills.

Having a cat wander over for a snuggle.

Drawing.

Reading - haven't for ages and now found a brilliant book!

Sleep
Sex
Rugby
Going out
Gaming
Gigs

@Kalim8

Oooh what's the book? I'm always looking for my next favourite.

Being in the Rural English Countryside

Dry stone walls, rolling dales

Long lazy pub lunches with friends

Good wine

Watching animals

A good book I can't put down

Day dreaming

Walking my dog, when she runs down the hill.
getting lost and found again, in the woods

dancing

Watching things grow, ie the allotment,
flowers

@Fantasisa it's Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

Oh I've seen that and heard good things.

Sunshine.
A summer shower.
Wine.
Chocolate.
Watching my dogs playing together (they're getting old now,so doesn't happen too often anymore
Streams,lakes and the sea,
Curling up in bed with a good book,hot chocolate and chocolate digestives on a rainy winters night.
A girly night in with lots of booze and nibbles.
A good film on the TV.
Fields full of wild flowers.
Food.

Washing billowing on the line
Flowers
A surprise phone call from a friend
A chatty letter
This time of year:
Cherries (only person in the house who eats them)
Looking forward to seeing Wimbledon on tv
Waiting for sweet peas to flower

Sitting in my garden with ddog watching the birds.

Bees

Flowers

I lovely glass of red

When my house is tidy but I can still seen bits and pieces of the kids stuff around, I don't know why.

My close friends. They are truly the most wonderful bunch of women who have helped me through the last few shitty months.

When DH is asleep on the sofa. He doesn't sleep well so this makes me happy.

After having 2 brain surgeries and a very near brush with death very recently, the tiniest things make me happy. Just being at home and being with my lovely family. Being outside in the garden my parents have put so much effort into and being alive and realising that all the stuff I worried about before is completely trivial

Risqué seaside postcards
Jogging in offensive shoes
Dogs
A really engrossing novel
Sex... obvs

A hot bath with bubbles
Clean sheets
Snuggling up with my DH, girls, dogs
Fresh flowers
Getting my nails done
Have a clean house
Walking my dogs

Sorry my DC were the first thing that came to mind, but also;

Books/literature/languages/words

True friends

Art

Dancing

Travelling to somewhere new

Cosy old pubs with fireplaces and nooks

Lavender sprinkled on pillows and in the bath. Lavender fields in Provence.

Falling asleep to audio books

Sex when you're in love.

Taking some time just to be me.

That can be walking in the countryside with my dog, sitting in a cafe having a cuppa and some cake or just sat in the garden listening to all the different sounds.

I think it's just the action of taking some time away from all the day 'stuff'.

A really firm, hard............

Dick

Nothing else @LaurieFairyCake? 😂

So many things Ben

But right now instead of cleaning the bathroom, a dick (attached to my darling bloke) would go down just fine

😂😂😂

My dogs... We've just had new grass installed and I just lay in the garden with a dog each side.

A clean house
