Little pleasures
help
A chance to exchange notes on the little everyday things that cheer you up when you're down, or make an ordinary day into a better one. Winning move unaltered.
This is one over which I happen to agree with several generations of family pets; the pleasure of having a good scratch; one that successfully banishes a persistent and deep-seated itch.
Having a quiet chuckle on hearing your team leader getting a bollocking for something you warned them about but "they knew better".
The smell of freshly ground coffee.
The opposition's top batsman lofts yet another six, this time over the pavilion, and smashes through a car window, which belongs to his captain, who is also his batting partner.
Hidden textThis was one of the few entertaining moments for our team on Wednesday.
The sudden feeling of clarity left behind when a large piece of furniture that has sat in a room for many years has been removed to the scrapheap.
Mowing stripes into one's lawn
Clearing out a pile of 'stuff' that has accumulated over several years
Getting into one's car that has been sitting outside on a sunny day at the end of winter and feeling warm for the first time in the last three months.
Being the first person to make footprints in fresh snow.
Putting the roll of toilet paper the right way round
Switching off and going home or, to put it another way, going home and switching off.
Coming over the brow of a hill
Successfully introducing someone new to a band, author, artist, place... that you already love
Sneaking into Software's house and reversing all the rolls of toilet paper
On my way to work, getting through the S-bends between Hampstead Norreys and Compton, on the B4009, without dropping below 60mph
When someone else makes a coffee for you at work, and gets it just right.
Going through a series of green traffic lights.
I dropped into a trade outlet to match and buy some bolts at lunch time. Not only did the guy find the right ones, he also said; 'You just want 20 - just put a pound in the charity box'. So: unlooked for kindness and generosity (Thank you Fixingsplus)
