2. Not very ish, I do enjoy thick potato chips/crisps salted with sea salt. Esp. yummy with sour cream.
3. PG Tips and whole milk, first thing in the morning. Mmmmmmm.

work a bit, rest a bit, work a bit......

7. Homemade cheesecake (with tia maria as the flavouring)
8. A handful of fresh garden peas (I have a toddler, so I have to be quick)

10. An evening with a good bottle of home-made wine by candle light (very relaxing)
11. Eating home-made / pickled Beetroot out of the jar (or pickled dirt as my OH calls it as that's what he says it tastes like )

18. "Tasting" home-made biscuits as they come out of the oven

19 Sleeping past 6.30am...not easy with a 16 month old who's raring to go first thing
20 Playing board games with hubby as it makes us laugh and chat
21 Cuddling my little girl when she comes to me for a snuggle which is rare she's usually far too busy
22 Having family time all 3 of us (Mark works loads so this is special to us all)

23. Christmas Day. It's in the middle of the olive harvest so great to have a day off, and we have a completely home-produced day, from the decorations & crackers to the wine, everything comes from our garden or is homemade. It's such a sense of achievement.

24. Breakfast straight from a tree/plant. I love scrumping a peapod or a fig, or something else and eating it straight from the plant. It's especially good first thing in the morning, just as the day is warming up.

Eating said baked goods
Home Djing

35. Telling clients in Tokyo that I can't do their job over the weekend because Saturday and Sunday I have to turn my compost.
36. Rejecting all but the most perfect tomatoes.

acouple of games of gin rumi & sh*thead

38. Looking as "ish" rather than unload the car right now, after being away from home for more than three weeks.

Going to the local Flea Market / Boot Sale and coming home with a car load of 'treasures' that are in my opinion:

a) Valuable.
b) Just what I've been searching for.
c) Useful.
d) Potentially useful.
e) Collectable (by somebody).
f) Attractive (to me).
g) Couldn't leave it behind.

But to the untrained eye of 'She who must be obeyed' is simply "another load of tutt ready to clutter up the shed coz you're not bringing THAT in the house".

A cheap day out for me though. AND I've sold a load of stuff in the local auction house and made a good profit.
