Listography: Simple Pleasures

Never joined in with this before but Kate has thrown down the challenge this week to list our five simple pleasures. Don't cost much money but make our life worth living - well for me these have to be

1. hugs and cuddles,laughs, and fun and games with Fifi and Bob, grandchildren are better than your own children because they only stay for a short time, you can have fun with them and send them home before they start to grate on your nerves.

2. some ME time, peace, quiet, nobody annoying me or moaning/complaining about something. Love a Tuesday morning cos that's oh's day down the allotment and I get the house to myself.

3. a hot bath with a magazine to read, have gas instant hot water so if I lie long enough to start resembling a prune then I can top up as and when ( ok so its not green and friendly but its a simple pleasure)

4. enjoying the beautiful countryside and coastline around my home town, we are very lucky here and have a lot of cycle paths and off road walks we can go on. Doesn't matter whether it is raining and I just want to blow some cobwebs away or a day like today when you can cycle for  miles enjoying the suns rays in a nice balmy 18oC

5 (and don't laugh) my job, I work in a hospital in a patient care role and just to be able to do something simple for a patient that makes a difference to their day,  or having a laugh with them and cheering them up, or even a simple gesture or remark that makes their stay more enjoyable.

  4. I read in the bath-only chance I get now due to having 5 children and a comping addiction,I used to read a couple books a week,now I'm on my 4th this year.Your list is great-I often feel people put to much value on material items,a hug from someone you love outweighs anything money can buy.x
