Best part of the day

My favourite part of the day is soon after waking at around 4.30am. I sink into a hot bath and read a book for an hour or two. Soaks away any aches and pains in readiness for a walk.

I love night times and look forward to snuggling under the duvet and falling asleep. I’ve on the most part been a good sleeper but boy do I know it if I don’t get enough, feel jet Lagged!

Getting into a cosy bed at night and picking up my book to read - bliss!

Probably morning tea with OH when we do a crossword puzzle together.

I'm not sure I have a "best part of the day" but I must admit that I find the first cup of tea is the "best one of the day".

I love sitting in the conservatory in the early morning with the necessary tea watching the birds and listening to the peace.

I have 3 'best' parts of the day!

Similar to yours Maw, the first 2 cups of tea, in bed with DH a cat or 2, Breakfast TV on and on my phone catching up with family and friends.

If we are both in, DH and I have also started photocopying the Times crossword, sitting down with a cup of tea and a biscuit or two at around 4pm and seeing who can finish the crossword fastest.

But my real favourite time is cooking our evening meal, chatting over our days, watching the evening news and having a

My best part of the day is after the evening meal, hot drink, book to hand, candles lit for cosiness and a choice of old films I have recorded.

Depends ….
If GC around then first thing in the morning when they appear and get into bed for chat and cuddles and plans.

Or for me often just walking to café for coffee (decaf ?) and cryptic crossword.

Wine time! ?

For me also it’s first thing enjoying my mug of tea that DH brings me in bed each weekday. That’s when I usually check in here and decide what the day will bring.

Yes definitely mornings. In bed with my coffee and iPad for hours on end……???

I like to get up before DH, fire on, various cats strewn about, cup of fresh coffee and a good book. Perfect.

I have just come back to lay on the bed with a nice latte, iPad and watching Lorraine (I know, but it’s easy watching) after getting The Chimp to school, steri-stripping a gash on The Imp’s forehead then settling him down on sofa with DD (coffee and paracetamol for her). Definitely my relaxing half hour.

I like my first cup of tea in the morning, and usually my back pain hasn't started just yet.

I enjoyed hearing about all the lovely moments in your days.

I try to get all my chores and appointments out of the way in the morning so the best part of my day is when I sit down with my lunch on a tray on my lap. I like to watch something utterly mindless or funny on TV as I eat. At the moment it's old episodes of Man about the House. From the moment I sit down the entire day is mine to do anything I please.

Having just reread this thread, I realise that all of my 'best times' include DH. I realise that not everyone has a person to do things with and my heart goes out to you if you have lost your special person - especially you maw, though Rosie sounds a lovely 'person' to share your life with.

I rather like being up in the middle of the night. It isn't a nightly thing but occasionally I wake up and trot downstairs and I love it.

The dogs tend to follow me down and we just sit in the dark. I also get to see our resident hedgehogs pottering around the front garden.

Early morning tea in bed (provided by Mr. B), propped up on big pillows, while I take my meds and catch up on emails and messages. Especially when it’s dark and I can hear rain lashing the windows.

First coffee, sitting at kitchen table, shutters open and looking out into my garden, watching the birds eating their breakfast.

My best part has always been getting to the top of the stairs on a chilly autumn/winter evening in anticipation 'mmm' of a warm bed.
Hopefully my electric blanket has not let me down.

I get up between 6.30 and 7 - make myself a cup of tea, sit in 'my' chair and catch up on my laptop and then catch up on any tv programmes I have missed. It is such a peaceful time of day!

First thing in the morning, when I am the only one out of bed. I love having my breakfast alone, enjoying the peace and quiet.

Curently, just after 7.45/8pm-ish when DGS goes to bed. I have to stay upstairs, while he drops off to sleep, because he doesn't like being up there alone. So I relax on my bed and surf the net.

After that it's all go again. Dishes, tidying up, laundry, feeding the moggies. So those 20 minutes or so are nice.
