20 things

20 things for relaxation:

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

1) Flicking through old art books in a charity shop and maybe buying one like this one where I got the lovely Seurat print.

2) Queen- These are the days of our lives

3) Hot water bottles

4) Hand knitted wool socks

5) Dr Martens

6) Blackbirds singing and sunbathing

7) Neil Young

8) Cashmere- so expensive but so under-rated as it lasts a lifetime and gets better with age

9) Pickles- piccalilli in particular...the best ever home made variety has still to be invented

10) Ferry 'cross the Mersey (I so want to do this again)

11) Oslo

12) Candy floss

13) Waltzers (a good fast one)

14) Reading a novel you really get into and can't put down e.g My Sister's Keeper

15) Making other people smile

16) That fab feeling you get when you take a photo you love

17) Thai food

18) Oiling your feet (look it up)

19) Learning something new e.g the BSL sign for "quiet" I learned this week

20) Feeling true/ authentic/ here/ enjoying life and how it is...life is short so enjoy what it throws at you...even if that is unexpected and not according to plan...

Life is short, break the rules, forgive
quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off
the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
