What I like

Its very rare I assume, (and never Assume anything cos it makes an ass (out of)U (and) me (old joke) for any of us to think about what we like, so here's my list in no particular order, although the first two are my most important.
Watching, listening to my children, I have learnt a lot from them, what they see that I miss and their own particular takes on the world, such as "I want to go to the Park" "the parks too far" "I have an idea Mummy? we could run"
Laughing, I love it, I read that as we get older we laugh less and less, but I hope I'm not, I noticed that in the UK, we laugh such a lot with complete strangers, unfortunately in the US, I joke and either time delay (although I find that gratifying) or NOTHING, I have been to American Doo's and no Laughing...weird! although when I get started they seem very responsive to the idea or maybe they are laughing at me? who knows...I don't care.
Standing, do you ever do that? just stand and take it in? helps if it is you garden or somewhere amazing, but standing is great.
Skipping along, I have an aunt who asks the question, "when do we stop skipping?, children do it all the time" news for you! I have never stopped skipping (not as in boxers/fitness we are talking skipping down the road) don't do it every day but when happy, I skip.
Spinning round and round or rolling down a hill, rediscovered the joy of this through my children.
Cycling, can't do this due to small children and now they are getting to a age to join in, we have moved to a place with hills... I don't do hills!
Wine- can't beat it, but in moderation...not!
Projects - love um, whether inflicted by others or thought up by myself, I go mental, I should win awards for some of them. current projects; veg gardening, home schooling, sewing a quilt, recycling EVERYTHING, blogging and inventing ways that DH has to get up at the crack of dawn to deal with children, so I can lye in!
Walking- this will throw up some memories for some friends, I love walking and recently I spent 7 weeks in the UK using public transport, which involved walking to bus stops, rail stations and some time I just chose to keep walking... and I loved it. the memories are, I had a car and I used to walk to the supermarket and none of you could understand me! I only used the car when buying heavy items. I once thought my car had been stolen, I went to use it and it wasn't parked in the car park, I worked back and I hadn't used it for 6 wks and it was still parked outside the pub!
Public transport, I mean buses, coaches, and rail NOT TAXIS AND CABS (not that I don't like them but public transport?) I like double Decker's the best cos you can nose into gardens!
Being nosey! nothing better, double Decker's, gossip, local papers, up my street, zillow, you name it, I am being nosey!
Keeping secrets! if you tell me something in secret I will not pass it on, I enjoy the knowing, and nobody else does, this weirdly has upset a few of the people who said "don't tell any one this..."???Uh! (part of the nosy stuff I think)
Beer; see wine.
Running/swimming- haven't done these in a while, if you don't count running after the boys as they run rampage! I love the being in your "own head"
Comedy; mainly British but a few notable exceptions, Scrubs and My Name is Earl, well two!
Radio 4 and 7
Friends- I have and amazing bunch of friends, in such interesting jobs or interests, I even have one who has a wiki entry, very short but he's there (Dick Millington). My friends are without exception insightful, caring, funny, educated and/or intelligent and care about the world and world politics but retain their sense of humour! most times!
Meeting new people.
Funny/useless facts...I lap them up, MISS QI soooo much, thank you, You Tuber who puts them on in high def so promptly whoever you are.
A good sneeze.
A cuddle
A weepie movie/tv program which isn't sickly, I am thinking A Matter of Life and Death or EXTREME HOUSE MAKEOVER!! just kidding about the extreme makeover!!
My Family, they are a really amazing bunch, the last year I have really understood how good and selfless they are, plus they have humour and the girlie's of the family have a great business idea.
Reading, I read anything, backs of cereal packets, rubbish book, I read and enjoy.
so that some of the stuff I like, by know means a exhaustive list but, take a minute to think about what you like and enjoy.
