a muddy run in the park. When you know what it's like to be injured or not be able to exercise, it makes you all the more aware of the privilege of being able to run, enjoy the fresh air and delight in the park.
seeing a heron on the lake. In fact two which may answer my question about whether herons should be in pairs like swans.
the sense of humour of my language buddies when something isn't quite right.
iPlayer so I can catch up on programmes that I've missed.
