Favourite thing

Take5

Hi everyone 

This is just for fun really but wondered if anyone wanted to share their own favourite things? My favourite thing and top of the list is bedtime, I don’t always sleep amazingly well but on the whole and as long as I stick to my bedtime ritual I do ok. 
 I have to have a hot water bottle, a pillow under my knees, a huge pillow on top of my body and my audio sleep mask on which I play natural sound for as long as I’m in bed. Those things have really helped me sleep better and I never deviate from my little routine now. 
I obviously have other things I love which include journaling, audiobooks, video games and pretty much anything to do with motorcycles and racing. 
My children tease me about loving bedtime so much and it’s a standing joke in our house but it’s the one place I feel the safest.

  • My favourite thing is going to a new theme park. Theme parks and roller coasters are my special interest, therefore nothing beats that feeling of excitement when I’m going to a new theme park. I love extensively researching and planning the theme park I’m going to for the first time so to get there and experience first hand nothing makes me happier.

    Theme parks are one of my least favourite places to visit, alongside football stadia. I have managed to avoid ever being in a football stadium, but have not been able to avoid theme parks entirely. Crowds of people, loud noises, flashing lights, questionable food and having my internal equilibrium upset by things that flip you about and subject you to G force, not my idea of fun, I fear.

    That's understandable. Even though I'm theme park obsessed they still overwhelm me at times. I know some theme parks have certain processes in place to help disabled people but in a lot the support isn't great which needs to change. It's strange how in most circumstances I hate crowds, loud noises and bright lights but I can tolerate them and even enjoy them in theme parks. I think because they're my special interest it helps me to cope and because I've been to so many I know what to expect and do so much research in advance.
