The benefits of home

Sometimes I panic when I realise that I'm unemployed and living at home with my parents. It's not really the norm. But then, there are some definite advantages to being here. Other than the most important and obvious one that is.

1. There's a full fridge and freezer and pantry with lots of food of all kinds. And goodies. And baking goods. And it comes with a fancy kitchen which makes cooking and baking more fun than it ever was while I lived in the UK.
2. A month ago or so my parents bought a new car. That means that the old car got more or less handed to me. Definitely a bonus.
3. Access to a lovely garden which is mine for the taking if I ever feel the need to get out and do some gardening (who knew raking leaves could be so satisfying!).
4. I get to sleep and live in my room. This, where I'm sitting right now, has been my room since I was born. It has been my hideaway my whole life. It holds memories and comfort. This is where I feel the most at home. Getting to sleep in this room is definitely one of the best things of living here.
5. Comfy, nice furniture everywhere in the house which suits all possible moods. 

And the most important and obvious one you ask? Getting to have traditional weekend breakfasts at the dining table with my parents, the way we have done it all my life. And spending an entire, rainy weekend in front of the tv watching the European golf tour with my dad. Having afternoon fika with my mum. In other words. Getting the chance to spend some serious quality time with my parents.
