1) My awesome wife.
2) Jody's positivity about the benefits of our move. I really hope that there are some benefits for you and I'm not just being a positivity vampire...
3) An improved sense of wellbeing while flying (aided by valium, but much better than other iterations) - flight was only average,but I was more annoyed by all the sitting about than the moderate bumpiness.
4) Flying through immigration (not literally, but pretty damned snappy) - being smiled at and chatted with by a friendly gatekeeper into the UK.
5) Finding not one but two places that make good coffee in Henley.
6) Our boxes arriving just before we did. Meant I could also make good coffee at home!
7) Getting some tasks and research accomplished like bosses, but without the pressure of needing to shit on anyone's desk or cut off our own genitals.
8) A pretty good transition to the new timezone. Both tired, but actually getting better sleep than before we left.
9) Nicola's parents making life pretty sweet for us, even if much of this is in the form of tempting treats to undermine my sweet dieting skills.
10) Feeling like I will be missed. It sucks as a feeling on one level, but it helps to know that I'm not a complete loser when people do awesome things and say awesome stuff to and about me. Selfish and self indulgent, but also motivates me even more toward being a better Gareth.
11) Videos of Gareth being an awesome Gareth.
