Happy list

We are lucky that during the lockdownS (about 4 months so far in separate lockdowns) there are still many things that make me anything from content to happy. Some of our lockdowns have been stricter than others. They've been in both France and Switzerland.

1. The 35 church bells at 7:05 each morning. I have no idea why that number nor why 7:05. (F)

2. The sound of the tea kettle. My husband brings me a cuppa and a biscuit and the first sip is wonderful. Come to think of it, so are the rest. (F, CH)
