1. Going for an afternoon walk on a Sunday. I don't know why it's the walks on Sunday as opposed to any other day of the week but it just is. The sun just seems to shine more softly over everything on Sunday afternoons.
2. A cup of tea and new magazines. Somehow a cup of coffee makes me flick through the pages more rapidly. Is there anyone alive who doesn't like turning open the cover of a magazine they've just bought? All this new fandangled magazines on iPad business just doesn't cut it for me.
3. A languid soak in a hot bath.
4. When someone else cleans, polishes and vacuums your car whilst you have a little quiet time.
5. The privilege of being able to live my life as I please in a peaceful and politically stable country. That I am not imprisoned by curfews or oppressive regimes. That I do not live in fear or hunger. I see this as such a simple thing because it's the only life I've known. For the citizens of many other countries, this is sadly not the case.
Number 5 was amazing. I couldn't agree more and think it was a nice way to end the list :D
