Things I have re-discovered…

Endless sunshine
The Australian accent and just how very wierd it is
Quiet… the sound of silence
Shopping trolleys the size of small row-boats
The absence of dog doo
Belonging to a cat
Family
Magpies & Lorikeets – they are so very loud
Top loading washing machines that take less than 30 minutes to do a wash
Clean air
Mosquitoes
Arnotts biscuits
Good, fresh and soft water… no more lime scale!
Knowing where everything is in a supermarket
The stars
Quilting
Driving a car
Inflation
Smiling, helpful shop assistants (admittedly, I am in a country town!)
What it means to be supported
Ali’s library
As much Irish Breakfast Tea as I could ever want
The smell of the bush
Nothing to do, nowhere to go and no one to please

I totally agree about top loading washers - WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH FRONT LOADERS TAKING 4 HOURS TO DO A BLOODY WASH?!

Another thing to add to that list - though it took me a while to figure out what it was - might be "gaps between buildings/houses", rather than endless slab after endless slab of identikit terrace.
