Life's Little Pleasures

The smell of a fry waking you up. The sound and smell of heading to the Sea/Beach. A walk in the woods with utter silence with nature.

DickSwiveller · 19-06-2018 01:03AM

Coffee in the morning. No better feeling.

Being back in Ireland, and having all the things that weren't available:

Hot Chocolate with good milk.

A Mild Cured rasher sandwich.

Good Chocolate that has been in the fridge all day.

Icecream mixed with orange juice. yummy.

When you cut a piece of paper with scissors and it glides through

Smell of freshly cut grass

When you pee after you were bursting to go.

Chocolate brownie with ice cream

_Dara_ · 19-06-2018 05:46AM

How fucking sexy my hair smells after I wash it.

:pac:

A purring cat.

A big bag of sour sweets to devour.

Gremlinertia · 19-06-2018 05:58AM

The smell of rashers cooking
A fish and chip takeaway with crispy chips
A dog's unwavering enthusiasm in greeting you
The first or last cup of tea of the day

The current Trivially Happy thread. It's basically a thread about life's little pleasures.

That feeling of Deja vu

Payton · 19-06-2018 06:37AM

Early morning jog. I'm just back from an 8KM run..the smell of a fresh morning as the world wakes up.
Knowing you've done a good days work and made a difference to someone's life.

When you do a quick little nixer, get paid and sit in the van/car with a smoke hanging out your gob with an extra hundred euro you don’t even need in the pocket.

mickrock · 19-06-2018 06:46AM

The smell of napalm in the morning.

A good bagpiping session with the girlfriend.

Mrcaramelchoc · 19-06-2018 06:50AM

Watching my dog run towards Me across a field at 900mph with ears pinned back and tounge hanging out.
There are more but i love that one.

Brendan Bendar · 19-06-2018 07:07AM

After being nearly ‘run down’ by some sour, driven lady in a Supermarket aisle,spotting her eyeballing a product in an empty aisle, walking past and releasing a loud klaxon of a fart before walking straight to the check outs.

Cannot be beat..

erica74 · 19-06-2018 07:08AM

Taking your bra off after a long day.
My husband and I having a good laugh together.
When my dogs wake up from a nap and they're all lying in a cuddle puddle and they all start stretching and yawning.
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.

facehugger99 · 19-06-2018 08:04AM

That smell when you drag a dead body through heather.

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.

Looks lovely and all but have they no cups over in France?

Sally O'Brien and the way she might look at you.

It's funny, this is the only house I'd ever drink coffee in a bowl in. It just feels... right. Warms the palms on a cold winter's morning... (not needed today in fairness)

razorblunt · 19-06-2018 08:55AM

1. Taking my watch off when I know I'm not going back out for the night and can just relax
2. Buying new socks and/or jocks
3. Walking my dog, anywhere, anytime
4. Listening to my dog lightly snore on the floor next to my bed when I'm drifting off to sleep
5. Finding a suit/shirt/t-shirt that fits you perfectly
6. Watching my dog meet a dog she knows out on her walk

Not really fond of my dog, you can tell.

My huge wide coffee mug lost its handle so now is a bowl and I love it

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

That will warp the fk out of your pan dude.

I let my pans cool really slowly on top of the hob i've just used to cook.

I can't pretend I am an ancient swordmaker or anything, but at the same time, I've got pans which heat very evenly.

And to answer the question in the OP - I would have to say that a simple pleasure in my life is a nice, evenly heated pan.

When you wake up to see your baby smiling at you in the bed beside you because mammy has taken her in for a cuddle ,
Under dogs winning matches or drawing at the world cup .
The first bite of a wholenut on a Saturday night when you sit down to watch a Movie,
Hitting the road early when you've a long road trip and the sun is shining and not a car on the road,

Akrasia · 19-06-2018 11:13AM

Winning an argument on the internet.

Or at least I hope it'll feel good. I don't think it's ever happened yet.

Sitting on a rock, half way up Mullaghmore in the Burren, eating a cheese sandwich. Carrying my 3 year old daughter up that hill on my shoulders, then the next year, helping her walk it herself by holding her hand, and this year, watching her do most of it on her own and telling her how proud I am of her that she's able to keep on going even when her legs are tired.

A nice liberating poo - the ones with the big plonk
New sheets on the bed
Getting a run of green lights when driving
When you finally figure out something that has been wrecking your head
Being able to fix something that nobody assumed you could fix
Popping your ears or getting water out of your ear
Your kids laughing hysterically when you do something funny
Back hugs from my wife - when she creeps up behind me and hugs me
When the wife takes the kids off to her parents and leaves me home alone
All day session with my childhood mates - can't remember the last time!!
Doing something selfless for a complete stranger and making their day
First slice of toast with real butter and marmalade with sweet tea after you had an operation and been fasting for 24 hours

Parcel Motel notifications. Parcel Motel locker swinging open.

Yes, that practice is not recommended.
