Not in any particular order of importance, here are some of the things that make me happy:


Listening to some of my favourite music.

Being in the company of good friends.

Watching a good movie or TV programme that totally engrosses me.

Listening to and watching my sons jamming together on their electric guitars, when they're really into the music, and don't realise I'm looking!

Listening to my sons play their own musical compositions, which tend to cross several genres - rock, blues, jazz, etc.

When someone else gives me a break from cooking dinner. One of the advantages of having a 21 year old son still living at home, is that he helps by cooking sometimes!

Dining al fresco in our back garden on a mild night, under the moon and stars, with good wine and conversation flowing.

Finding that Caithness.org is back up, after it's been down for a while!

My daily visit to Caithness.org, which always makes me feel closer to home!

Visiting places of interest, especially if it's a place of natural beauty, historic, architectural, or artistic interest.

A lovely sunny Spring day, with all the flowers and tree blossoms in bloom.

Receiving e-mails from friends and relatives.

My husband, when he's in a good mood, and joking around with me.

Leaving for work, when my husband's in a really foul, grumpy mood, and I can't wait to get away!!

Wasn't me folks

I was in the same boat myself yesterday, ended up spending the evening watching old Star Trek episodes. Needless to say the search for a new web host has started as the service we've been getting recently is basically rubbish.

The service still seems pretty ropey, the problems seem to originate with dedipower though not architec.
