Sustenance

Another meme, as seen on Life as I Know It – five things that sustain me, keep me going:

1. Reading fiction. I love getting lost in a fantasy or future world. Or trying to unravel the threads to solve a crime. I’m even happy to re-read stuff.
2. A good talk with M. I’m lucky in that my life partner is also my best friend. Often he’s the only one who can talk sense into me 😉
3. Paco the puppy. It’s very grounding to have a little creature who trusts you implicitly, who loves being around you regardless of what sort of a bad hair day you’re having, and who is so easy to please (give him a liver treat, play with him, take him for a walk, and he’s happy).
4. A strong cup of tea, with a dash of milk.
5. A chat with jl. Always nice to catch up and gasbag about whatever!

What sustains you?

I know Kate tagged me to do the eight things meme, but I’ve already done it!

Another inspiration for this post was Darren Rowse the Problogger‘s Rediscover Your Blogging Groove: Write a List post. I think I need to get back into the groove… Going to Perth bloggers’ meetup tonight might help. Perth people, hope you’re all going to be there!
