A perfect day.

I have decided what makes me happy these days is decidedly simple. Is this an age thing? I seemingly no longer need diamond-encrusted giraffes, bouquets of black roses and piloting pigs to make my heart smile.

I just need more days like these.

On my day off I...

♥ Woke up next to my sweet man, who incidentally freaked me out in the middle of the night when he held his face right over mine and stared at me while he was dreaming - holy cats that was scary!

♥ Snoozed in with the dogs in my bed until the ghastly hours were passed and it was at least 8am

♥ Opened the windows to let the musky, summery air waft through the apartment, totally rejecting our overused air conditioners

♥ Pottered around catching up on meaningless things and clearing my office of total rubbish

♥ Walked briskly around Victoria Park with my favourite tunes blaring in my abused ears

♥ Picked out some fresh ingredients for a never-attempted-before feast out of my new cookbook

♥ Mooched around the house some more with

my equally as relaxed better half and the furry children (that would the the dogs again rather than some mutant offspring)

That's it... that's all it takes these days for me to want to give a random stranger a massive high five.

I hope your days off are full of just as many precious moments!
