Cycling rather than taking the bus, in particular for the school run and getting to the ice rink (going to the ice rink is a big expensive thing I do to make my life better and happier!). The timing is much more predictable, and the exercise settles both me and my child.
The route to the rink has a particularly lovely stretch alongside the river through Stourbridge Common and Ditton Meadows, and then alongside a field which often holds horses. I love the river and the space and the sight of the animals, it's all good. (Less fun in the rain, but that's what waterproofs are for.)
Cold-brew tea made in the fridge and/or home-made tea latte with soy milk heated in the microwave, for small pleasures. I can drink cow milk, but specifically for tea latte I prefer the lack-of-sweetness of soy.
