5, Get a lie in
4, Warm sunny day
3, Superb coffee
2, wife gets frisky
1, Getting a big smile from junior (I do every morning, because she is very smiley!)

To be honest, I did not have time to feed junior this morning as we were all late waking up - but that is a highlight of my day! And I go to work with porridge i my hair!

    You wake her up? My Little M normally wakes me up - she makes a remarkably good alarm clock. Anyway.

    In no particular order

    Bathroom nearly finished.
    Will see Mrs RJS and Little M tomorrow - first time in two weeks.
    Getting complimented on my speed along the Embankment by a fellow cyclist.
    Someone has made a pot of extra strong coffee.
    Sun is shining.

    EDIT: Sun is no longer shining, so I'll swap that for "DDD has fettled his gears". Not sure why knowing that makes me happy, but it does.
