A ripe peach
Getting food delivered when you aren't feeling good.
(Stevie) Woss wrong with yer feet, cobber?
Schadenfreude when things go well for a pessimist.
[Superman] Other people's schadenfreude makes me sad.
The triangle where the collarbone meets the neck
Moving your limbs I'm not so keen on getting too hot, or too cold, or rained on, or achey or blistered or whatever, but physical activity is undeniably a net plus even if there are a few flies in the ointment.
[SM] The flies are the best part!
Perpetrating names like Boots, Bewts, Butes, Bootes, Marchinup & Downagen Solicitors and Commissioners of Oaths on the Americans in my Space 1889 game. Count Oberluft and Baroness Von Klyster have also made appearances.
Nobody to stop me eating an entire box of chocolates in the first half of the latest Doctor Who episode
Doing a syrtaki with some friends.
My automatically waving at people, when I take my morning walk, eventually paying off when people start waving at me first!
Playing an augmented 9th (on the piano). A nice, tangy jazz chord. Can't leave it hanging, though. .
Catching the last sunbeam
A fig straight from the tree.
@Muse I'm trying to cultivate the habit of smiling at everyone, especially people working in shops. If it helps just a tiny bit I think it's worthwhile.
Secretly laughing at weird smiley people
Mushy peas
Living through the first day that the temperature in Sheffield hits 18 degrees.
[Pablo] What, the first ever? Wow :-)
Discovering that plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose is actually true.
A warm, but slightly overcast day with a pleasant breeze.
Means I can sit in the 'garden' and 'work', and see WTH I'm doing on the laptop. Yes, I would be more productive if I sat indoors at my desk with a keyboard and the bigger monitor, but perfect days like this are rare and should not be squandered. And I've squandered more than a few, so let's start appreciating them.
Eliciting a smile from other people's babies in supermarkets, without the parent(s) noticing, simply by smiling at them.
The prospect of baking a cake tonight for the first in-person team meeting for a while tomorrow & being able to make it lactose-free for one particular colleague who often misses out.
I wasn't very bold, was I? Maybe a good thing. You'd all want to come to our team meeting for a piece of Devonshire Honey Cake (see the BBC's Good Food website recipe)
