As this hot weather is kicking my chronically fatigued arse – no matter how much salt and water I have and no matter how many cans of energy drinks and jars of coffee I go through – I thought I’d write a simple list post. A positive reminder to value the simple things in life.

1. Having someone kind enough to go out and buy almond milk to make me iced coffee
2. Caffeine in all its wonderful forms
3. Feeling alert and awake
4. Cold shoulder tops and strapless dresses which don’t fall down (I might as well add unicorns and mermaids here)
5. Quiet neighbours
6. Friendly neighbours
7. Dairy free White-Russian’s
8. The ambient music on the main screen of the PS4 as it helps me concentrate more than silence
9. The fact I have a laptop so my hands and neck don’t cramp up after ten minutes of typing
10. Lots of natural light pouring inside
11. Shade from trees outside
12. Having a cool shower on a stiflingly hot day
13. Cucumber sticks and humus
14. Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough ice cream
15. An appetite, clearly
16. Giant bolster cushions from Ikea
17. Vans and Converse trainers
18. Someone to watch sci-fi, superhero and fictional detective TV shows with
19. Those pretend-felt blankets from Ikea
20. Gluten free beer
21. Bloody Mary’s (best hangover cure, ever!)
22. A strong and constant wifi signal
23. Awesome people I chat to regularly on social media or through my blog
24. Offers of collaborations from some lovely brands
25. A partner who’s into gaming at the same level as me
26. Having a terrible head for figures but knowing the value of things
27. Well grilled ‘cheese on toast’ with black pepper
28. Hugs
29. Restful sleep
30. People reading all of this list
