1. Reorganising the pantry, with the help of my little girl. We ended up with two garbage bags full of out-of-date stuff, and a beautiful tidy pantry. And four jars of garlic.
2. Only using a couple of dozen tissues today, not a couple of hundred. The cold is nearly over.
3. I'm thinking about having a hot bath to warm me down to my bones.

Sleep, Muppets, water
1. After a restless night with my headcold I am feeling very tired. Tim takes the kids out at 2pm and I fall into bed and sleep until 4.15.
2. Watching Season 3 of the Muppet Show on DVD. People probably think I bought it for the kids, but no.
3. Cool lemony water on a sore throat.

Bed, aloe vera, soup
1. I'm down with a tiresome headcold, so Tim organises the kids and walks them to school two days in a row while I stay snuggled down in bed surrounded by used tissues.
2. The softness of aloe vera tissues on a sore nose.
3. The hot salty goodness of chicken noodle soup.

Magpie, camembert, The Gathering Storm
1. The liquid warble of a magpie.
2. Creamy ripe camembert on salty crackers.
3. The Gathering Storm, book 12 of The Wheel of Time, is excellent. I am re-reading it in preparation for reading book 13. Brandon Sanderson has done a fantastic job picking up where Robert Jordon had to leave off.

Tea, loss, grapes
1. Trying lots of different black teas as the little Twining boxes were on special. English Breakfast has always been my favourite, but I now like Australian Afternoon and Prince of Wales as well.
2. Losing half a kilo overnight a day after my rather small Weight Watchers weigh-in loss.
3. Fresh crisp green grapes.

Kindergarten, break, ice cream
1. My baby sails through his first day of Kindergarten with no problems.
2. With both kids at school, I am finally going to have some time to myself after a long long summer school holidays.
3. The Weight Watchers chocolate ice cream isn't bad.

Riding a pig, violin lessons, the scale
1. Riding a virtual pig on a Kinect Carnival game (new for Christmas) and trying to steer the recalcitrant thing around hay bales and mud puddles.
2. My seven-year-old daughter's continuing enthusiasm for her violin -- a whole two weeks after receiving it. She keeps bugging me for practice sessions. I thought she would be sick of it by now, as it seemed only a passing whim when we bought it.
3. Seeing the scale lower than it was yesterday.
