100 Things I Like

I'm sorry I've been away so long.
It's been a stressful month what can I say.

I put this list of 100 things I like together as part of an email conversation with a friend but I found the exercise so interesting that I thought I'd post it up here and see what my readers have to say about it. It takes time to write up 100 different things you like (note this is not my TOP 100) but it's a lot of fun to think about all the things in life that you enjoy.

Anyway feel free to ask me questions about the list in the comments or to post up a list of 100 things you like on your own blog, it's a lot of fun.
