    I've been Money Tipped!
    My husband, my animals. The landscape and a little less, gardening. My relative freedom and safety in the western world. A hot, nice smelling bath. Clean sheets. Wild swimming. Good books. Grass....as in the thing animals eat not the herb. Novelty. and old favourite things beautiful things. Cheap things :). The increasing rare gatherings of friends over a slow meal I've cooked and good drink (the meals are fewer as more marry and have children, but perhaps the wine has got better...). Things that are well made, and people with the skill to make good things well. Learning new stuff. Colour. The feeling of having done a lot. Painkillers :) Sparkly things. Unusual objects. Thunderstorms in summer. Hard frosts. real fires. Bed.


    Lots of things make me happy. I feel sad I have a longer list than most people here, and it could be a lot longer.

    Jacket potato beans and cheese, piano, fast cars and again boobs.

    But having your health and a nice family (including nice in laws) eclipses all that.

    It's my 30th birthday today; that's made me pretty happy so far (aside from being at work, though at least it's dead here). :)

    I like hill-walking, the outdoors generally, baking, good food and wine, running (off the baking and good food and wine), web development (hubby is into bird photography so I run a site for him) and board gaming. And holidays. Most of all I like doing all these things with my marvellous family and friends. :D

    Outed! you are Mrs Hefner? anyway happy birthday :bdaycake:

    Trying always to be happy makes one unhappy. The media imply our garden / house is not good enough, our looks and dress is not good enough,TV chefs tell us our food is not good enough, so far too many of us myself included should stop trying to be happy all the time.

    I'm a music producer by night and have 2 international labels telling us they want to sign - that makes me happy.
