Life's Little Pleasures

FTA69

Some things just make us stop and pause and think - "it's great to be alive", what day to day or week to week events make you fuzzy inside?

For me:
1) Putting a hot pan into the sink, hearing that hiss and for a second imagining yourself as a blacksmith.

2) Watching the birds. Have a load of feeders out the back and it's so therapeutic. Went to the park the other day and laughed my head off at two coots fighting each other.

3) Sitting above the driver on the top deck of the bus and pretending I'm driving it.

4) Cup of tea and a Twix after dinner.

5) Swimming in the sea

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women.

A decent cup of coffee and a croissant (together preferably but either one just as gooooood)
Toast with butter.
Fresh bed sheets.
Hearing a deadly song in the car.

Oh, and that nice feeling a Saturday shopping in town and going for lunch gives you during the day. Or is that just me.

Making a lovely dinner while listening to good music. Then sitting down to enjoy said dinner while watching something good on TV (for example the World Cup).

A nice cup of tea with chocolate cake/biscuit/bar/ice cream.

Getting a notification that a new episode of a favourite podcast has been uploaded for listening.

I know you're on holidays and everything, but you shouldn't really be giving alcohol to children.

Ivan, bring hither yonder heated iron to water. We shall form it, for we are 16th century blacksmiths I say.

Do you give it an aul clonk with the wooden spoon, to give that full viking foundry house effect?

When i get the house to myself, ahh love the silence+a few drinks, and a good film.

seenitall

When a guy you've just started seeing, starts firing you messages of an evening, randomly reminding you of all the hot sex ye had on the weekend, but really because he knows you are out on the town and thusly intending to distract you from checking out/snogging some other fella!

At the age of 44

Which leads to another one, namely, once home, doing a little impromptu victory dance to the tune of "I've still got it, yeah yeah yeah" in front of the mirror :pac:

Taking your bra off after a long day.
My husband and I having a good laugh together.

Losing weight, your clothes fitting just right.
When your makeup is just perfect.
Getting all the washing done and dried on the line.
Filling up the bird feeders and watching all the birds come and go.

This extremely simple breakfast under the Southern French sun.
Fresh baguette with Brittany salted butter and the mother in law's apricot jam made from the local fruit. Served with a simple café au lait.

Bliss this morning.
