You know you are relaxing when ...

For me, it is when I am enjoying the SECOND cup / glass of something. If I have time for a coffee cup refill in the morning ... when I get to the second glass of wine on a Friday evening ... when there is a second part to a meal because we have made time for a starter or a rare dessert.

And when I am in my pjs, early in the evening / after 8 in the morning - simple luxuries!

What makes you know you are in the zone?

Having done the "household stuff in the morning"..2pm everyday (except Thursdays/Fridays (working) ....sitting on the sofa, reading or watching something on catchup tv or practising on the piano or some craftwork... soooo relaxing......never stressed.

No idea how this arrived here. I was looking him up because he is the tutor for the course I start tomorrow, but how that transferred itself to a Gransnet post defeats me.

Reading with sound of clock ticking ,our little black communal cat curled on settee well fed and sleeping and reading no TV no noise just a book GN/a crossword and being warm and cosy....when my lovely OH comes home after a long shift and my beautiful E is home at the end of the day and I have heard all is well with my gorgeous son.That is when I am chilled and relaxed and content

Sitting in the firelight, just watching the flickering and listening to the crackling...

Humbertbear I should feel more relaxed if I had been able to leave the house. Yesterday I spent bird watching and walking in the beautiful countryside near where I live, very relaxing.

I agree with you W11girl especially about the craft work being relaxing, except crochet, I'm trying to learn but I can't get my head around that.

Sitting in front of the fire with the wind howling outside and TV not on.
A day at home with no plans, just odd jobs and fluffing about.

When my husband and I have been out to lunch so I am not cooking dinner, having a cuppa and reading the paper then looking forward to my favourite tv programmes later on.....!
