how about we share our simple pleasures here? I think it's important that we do something we enjoy every day, don't you?

I have recently discovered adult coloring books, and I really enjoy it. Relieves my stress and makes me forget about my pains and aches for a moment. I ordered several books from amazon, and so far I've finished two. I also like reading detective stories.

I read loads of books on Kindle Unlimited. I have the app on my phone so can read anytime - useful for when I can’t sleep. I suppose it take me away from reality as they’re mostly fantasy books about magic etc set in current times. I also knit when stiff hands allow and I’ve been known to produce a blanket or two for family. X

I also have read so many more books than I ever have. I enjoy past history as well as present day history, it helps me cope better with my conditions. I have lost interest in cooking elaborate dishes but this could return.
