The prime time to enjoy yo u r lif e !

advice as long as you are not one of the people polled by outdoor firm Helly Hansen.

They found the average adult finds less than a third of each day is fun.

One in 10 have no fun at all. No fun at all?

Take a walk in the park. Breathe in country air. Remind yourself you’re Yorkshire.

Watch a Tommy Cooper video: “I’m on a whisky diet – last week I lost three days.” Go and live in Scandinavia or try yodelling. The last two suggestions are not so daft because, according to the World Happiness Report published by the United Nations, the top five countries whose citizens have most contentment and enjoyment are Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Finland. A survey found the average adult finds less than a third of each day is fun. One in 10 had no fun at all.

The UK ranks 23, which between Singapore and Chile.

I have no intention of moving to Scandinavia and I shall avoid yodelling – I never liked Frank Ifield first time round.

But I shall continue my addiction to Scandi Noir, the thrillers that come out of those lands of snow and lakes across the North Sea.

Which reminds me, it’s time for a book break: I’ve just discovered the Swedish thrillers of Lars Kepler and they are brilliant.

An hour’s reading is bound to boost my enjoyment of the day.
