5 things you miss most ?

Feeling a bit and lonely after 10 days home (France) with family and friends, I wondered what were the things I missed most here in Aberdeen.

So here are my 5, but you can post about things you missed most from: where you used to live/ school/ work/ holidays /etc
  • Proper summer weather: sunny and temperatures above 25 deg (it was 35 when I left Lyon today)
  • My mum's cooking
  • silly laughs with my sister
  • eating fruits from the trees
  • sneaking clothes from my mum's wardrobe (she loves it)

we need a 'big sigh' smiley...

Re: 5 things you miss most ?

The things I miss the most from Italy are (in no particular order):
  • real mountains
  • Thunderstorms in summer
  • Italian wine at decent prices
and same as Caro
  • proper summer wheather
  • my mum's cooking

5 things I miss from being at school

1. Not having huge unacheivable deadlines for projects.. although it always seemed that way at the time.
2. The tuck shop that sold Spangles, and puffs and texan bars and other sweets you can't get any more.
3. The "IT classroom" where computers were wondeful "futuristic hi tech" devices that cost more than a car.. even though my pocket calculator has more power these days!
4. My First Girlfriend.. walking round the school and she took my hand then gave me a peck on the cheek. I thought I was going to spontaneously combust. Never got that same feeling back.
5. Being Head prefect. Ahh.. the power I controlled!!

Re: 5 things you miss most ?

What is ‘proper summer weather’

Forcast for London is 25C plus for the rest of the week as it was mainly last week with the odd 30c , yes Id love real 110f heat and not be able to sleep all summer at night

Sorry we have thunderstorms

I guess if you want it at 110f and have even chance of being killed by lighting we don’t have that.

Yeah - I always look over my shoulder to make sure I'm not being followed by a killer bulb

Just concentrate on turning it forward instead, there could be some amazing experiences, things and people (and things who are also people ) to meet just around the corner

Besides you have to experience the sad bits in life to truely appreciate the happy bits...I'm sure there's a more eloquent way of putting it but best I could think of just now!

Re: 5 things you miss most ?

1. A decent cup of tea when Im on my holidays....
2. Standing on a hilltop with a gale blowing furiously... (No hills here... )
3. The taste of fresh white snow... (yes I am odd!)
4. My nearest and dearest friends if I am away from home for too long..
5. Being with someone who feels about me, the same way I feel about
them.. and being loved unconditionally.

Probably could think of more...

Re: 5 things you miss most ?

Morning cuddles in my bed, with a sleepy baby, oh and breast feeding

Picking my kids up from school and taking them straight to the park for a picnic

Tap dancing

Having my parents and sister living 2minutes round the corner

Scraping my hair back, slinging on a pair of jeans, no makeup and still looking reasonably OK

Re: 5 things you miss most ?

I miss....

1) The body I had when I was about 20, and went to the gym every day...

2) A healthy spine (not being in pain!)

3) Norwegian summers and winters!

4) My brother, who I only get to see once or twice a year.

5) My best friend who moved to USA 10 years ago, and I only see about once every two years!

I'm all upset now!
