Clean sheets and a cosy duvet

Autumn days, crunching through the crispy leaves in the park

The smell of my cat when he snuggles up on my pillow

:star: Final Fantasy 7, 8 and bleagghh, forget about the rest. Just add the first 3 Tomb Raiders. Console games fill in a lot of hours and make me feel good. :-?

:star: My kids are both coming home for Christmas after saying they wouldn't be able to. I'm especially looking forward to seeing my son - he's been the one who's suffered indirectly through all the horrible stuff. So Yay - he's coming home!!!

:star: Chocolate. What else?

:star: Lying in bed, knowing it's a weekend so you don't have to get up, listening to the rain pouring down outside and feeling toasty and warm where you are. And taking a *positive* decision to stay there!
