    Surely there's something for everyone here. Just because I'm a real saddo, I worked out, approximately, that, putting stuff under large headings, here are - very approximately - the top ten.

    1. Reading
    2. Computer (Computer games, AC Forum, Play station)
    3. Friends (especially when out dining)
    4. Looking at nature (even if it’s only our own garden)
    5. Family, especially grandchildren
    6. Music
    7. Being creative (art, photography, writing)
    8. The seaside
    9. Watching sport
    10. Alcohol

    So, presumably, watching sport, at the seaside, with friends and family, while supping beer or wine would top most people's list :wink: And, how tough would arthritis be in a world without books or computers?
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    For me being by the sea...just watching the waves..I can go into my own little world
    Even better taking our GDs to the seaside..and watching them enjoy themselves...and there laughter
    sitting in the garden listening to the birds
    researching my family tree

    Eating out
    meeting friends and putting the world to right

    I love complicated recipes and getting a lovely result especially on Saturdays.
    Going out for something to eat on summer evenings ..so that the kitchen doesn't get hot.
    Being with my new grandson really does top everything.
    Also anything Christmas at any time of year I get on a high in December and arthritis becomes a distant memory.
    Sorry to mention the 'C' word in August :)
